Status of Women committee  Thank you for sharing that. I wonder if you would recommend that greater resources be dedicated to working with an obviously overrepresented community in this field.

Status of Women committee  Thank you. My first question is for Dr. Elliott. You highlighted the fact that you work in Alberta. I really appreciate the insights you shared around working with girls and young women on eating disorders and anxiety disorders. Similar to other questions that I've raised dur

Status of Women committee  I really appreciate the experience you've shared. We can all agree that the work you're doing is very important, and hopefully, work that can be replicated in other centres with and for first nations and indigenous communities across the country. I want to move to another topic.

Status of Women committee  Thank you. My question is for Dr. Van Lieshout. You talked about the impact of mental health being passed down from mothers to their children. For indigenous women and girls, we know that there's intergenerational trauma that transfers across generations, trauma that is caused

Status of Women committee  First I would like to ask Ms. Andrich to expand on a point that she raised earlier about the lack of resources in what Klinic does. Obviously, anyone who lives in Manitoba and works anywhere close to the field of trauma and mental health supports is aware of the important work

Status of Women committee  Yes, for sure, and I appreciate your being very clear on that. Again, I want to underscore the life-saving work that you do here in Manitoba. Thank you. My next question is for Dr. Van Lieshout around perinatal care. I really appreciate the critical points you've raised. Here

Status of Women committee  Thank you. Of course, we know that poverty has a detrimental impact on physical and mental health. Ms. Andrich, you talked about working with communities that are on the margins, in particular indigenous communities, many of whom struggle in poverty here in our province. One o

Status of Women committee  Okay. I don't think I have time for an answer, but I want to share my appreciation for all the witnesses. I look forward to some more time for questioning. Thank you.

Status of Women committee  Thank you, and thank you to our witnesses today. One of the themes this committee has been hearing over the past few meetings has been the impact of sexual violence, gender-based violence and the lasting impact and trauma it has on women and girls who are survivors of this viole

Status of Women committee  Thank you for that. I'm wondering, Ms. Simon, if you have anything to add on your end.

Status of Women committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. My first question for the minister is on the issue of the national inquiry and the calls for justice. How many of the calls for justice from the national inquiry have been implemented by your government?

Status of Women committee  Okay, that's very much understood, but of course we were looking for a number there. That comes rooted in the concern that nowhere near enough is being done to actually implement these calls for justice. To that, the National Family and Survivors Circle commented on the missed

Status of Women committee  Perhaps, Madam Minister, with all due respect, I think we're moving on to a different topic. Let's be clear. These aren't my words. Here I have the press release from the circle, which talks about how they were, in their own words, “left out of Federal Budget 2022”, so I think i

Status of Women committee  Exactly. Yes, I appreciate that and I think we're all very clear on the need to respect the language that they're using, and clearly they've expressed concern around, as they say, being “left out” of the federal budget. I'll leave it there and then I'll go to another important t

Status of Women committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is to both ministers. Here we are talking about violence against indigenous women and indigenous communities. We know that climate change is currently having a disproportionate and devastating impact on a number of indigenous communities, and
