Madam Chair, I thank my colleague from Manicouagan for her question. Unfortunately, I do not know why we are here once again. I so wish I did not have to be here tonight talking about this issue. I wish that when we talk about feminism, we could put words into action. It is not right that, in 2023, we still have to point out that indigenous women and girls are being killed simply because they are indigenous women and girls, because they are victims of discrimination. Why are so many women still victims of violence in our society? Why is it that when women and girls are assaulted, even in the world of sports or in the military, it is only when there is a sensationalized case in the media that the government finally thinks about doing something? We know the solutions. There have been plenty of reports on various issues that affect women. I could even talk about EI. We know the solutions. Why are the reports shelved? Why are they not implemented? There is the financial aspect, but I have the impression that political will is also a major factor. As I said at the end of my speech, the fake feminism must stop. Tears are all well and good, but it is time for action.
