I agree with you that indigenous women are treated differently within these various institutions and systems that were set up to protect most people. They feel very vulnerable, and they don't feel protected.
I think this is a tool that can be used, but I just want to clarify to this committee that, yes, there is a gender-based violence plan under Women and Gender Equality Canada. That plan might be as great as all the words that are written—we were part of developing some of those plans—but truthfully, the WAGE funding for gender-based violence, $536 million, was divided up 13 ways and given in a transfer payment to all the provinces and territories. Gender-based violence wasn't put forward as a priority to help do programming and to help fix the justice system to change how things are.
