This legislation is another step towards a fair and effective system that will keep all Canadians safe.

Uqaqtittiji, there are consequences when the Liberal government fails to implement the calls for justice by the national inquiry on MMIWG. Indigenous women and land defenders continue to face systemic discrimination and violence from the RCMP. Indigenous women are increasingly overrepresented in Canada's prisons. Indigenous women are still experiencing disproportionate rates of violence. When will the Prime Minister stop offering empty words and start acting to help indigenous women?
