Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for that impactful speech. I am aware of what is happening because indigenous women in my riding, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, are experiencing the same thing. Women are still disappearing in Val-d'Or. Sometimes they are found, sometimes not. How can this still be going on? I cannot understand it. We know the government is not doing anything. It is not walking the talk, as they say, nor is it listening to what indigenous women and communities want. I would like my colleague to tell me what she thinks of this government's response to everything that happened with the national inquiry into indigenous women and girls.

Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for his speech. Any conversation about missing and murdered indigenous women and girls is always a conversation about money. The government has done nothing to bring about reconciliation or take action since the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls three years ago. Can my colleague help me understand why the government is so slow to take action?

Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for her speech. During tonight's take-note debate, we spoke about the violence perpetrated against women and murdered women. This kind of violence happens all the time. I would like my colleague to tell us about recognizing and understanding the root causes of this violence in order to support indigenous people in their recovery.
