“I'm promoting a campaign I support. I want you all to take a symbolic action. I want you to wear this pin. I think it will reduce violence.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, in 2011, along British Columbia's Highway of Tears, a remote stretch of Highway 16 where far too many indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been murdered, Paul and Raven Lacerte were moved to action. They are the father and daughter co-founders of the Moose Hide Campaign. It is an indigenous-led movement grounded in love, ceremony and accountability, calling on people of all backgrounds to take a stand against gender-based and domestic violence. Wearing a moose hide pin is more than a symbol. It represents a personal commitment to honour, respect and protect women and children in our homes, workplaces and communities. It is about building safer communities where everyone is responsible to speak up and support one another. On Thursday, May 14, Moose Hide Campaign Day, I am asking all Canadians to renew that pledge and, most important, to take meaningful action because ending violence is a responsibility we all share every single day.
