Mr. Speaker, over the span of 19 days, seven indigenous people were killed by police. Communities are disturbed, but unfortunately these tragedies are known all too well by indigenous people. This is colonialism and systemic racism that continues to persist under consecutive governments. First nations, Métis and Inuit have the solutions to end this violence: No more indigenous children getting a bullet instead of help. Why will the Minister of Public Safety not act to ensure accountability and justice for these families?

Mr. Speaker, ensuring that justice is done for victims and their families is crucially important. It is something I know the minister takes incredibly seriously, and we will continue to work on this specific case with her. When it comes to dealing with systemic racism in policing, this is a crucial issue that we are focused on addressing. It is something we have made progress on, but by no means is it complete. There is much more work to do, and we are committed to doing it.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians have been expressing their concerns about auto theft over the past year and have asked for solutions. We took their concerns to heart and we took action. We updated the Criminal Code and provided funding to law enforcement through budget 2024 and our national action plan on combatting auto theft. Can the Minister of Justice outline some of the progress we have made in protecting communities with regard to this issue?
