By unanimous consent, it was resolved, — That, given that:
(i) grassroots actions are taking place today at the local, regional, national and international levels in recognition of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls,
(ii) Indigenous women and girls still face unacceptable and rising rates of violence, with 56% of Indigenous women having experienced physical assault and 46% having experienced sexual assault, 64% of First Nations and 65% of Métis women having experienced violent victimization, 42% of Indigenous women having experienced physical or sexual abuse during childhood, and Indigenous women being at least 4.5 times more likely to be murdered than non-indigenous women,
(iii) we have witnessed decades of insufficient action from all levels of government to address this crisis with the urgency it deserves,
the House call on the government to:
(a) immediately implement Call for Justice 3.2 of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls;
(b) provide adequate, stable, equitable, and ongoing funding for Indigenous-centred and community-based health and wellness services that are accessible and culturally appropriate; and
(c) meet the health and wellness needs of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
