Indigenous Affairs

During question period on Indigenous affairs, Elizabeth May of the Green Party asked the Prime Minister how many of the 231 calls for justice from the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited plus people have been fulfilled, nearly seven years after the report was delivered. Minister Rebecca Alty replied that the calls for justice are ongoing work rather than a single project, said the government is taking action at every stage to end violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and cited funding to more than 90 Indigenous groups and a $300,000 contribution to Manitoba for an alert system.Written by AI from the debate.

“A report on missing and murdered Indigenous women gave the government 231 recommendations. How many of them has the Prime Minister completed?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, almost seven years ago, June 3, 2019, the inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women, girls and two-spirited plus people was given to the government. Of the 231 individual calls for justice, can the Prime Minister update us as to how many have been fulfilled?

Mr. Speaker, the calls to action and the calls for justice are not with respect to just one project, but a life we need to continue to live. Violence against indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people must be brought to an end. Our government is taking action at every stage. We have funded more than 90 indigenous women’s and 2SLGBTQQIA+ organizations. We just announced today that we will be funding $300,000 for the red dress alert program with the Province of Manitoba. There are more things, but I see that my time is up.
