I'm sorry, but I have limited time.
Like I said in the study, this isn't about how you feel about resource extraction. Whether there's resource extraction or not, it needs to be safe, and it's not safe for women and girls, wherever you sit on that issue.
I ask that, because there are dead zones. First of all, there are dead cell zones. The second issue is that companies come in promising these digital technologies. These are companies that are already not taking precautions to make sure women and girls are safe, not fulfilling their promises. How is it important to put in legislation to hold these companies accountable? This is particularly because these agreements are generally made—sometimes tripartite, federally and provincially with the company—to hold them accountable for things like ensuring digital technology, holding governments to account to make sure, as a human rights matter, that there aren't dead zones.
In light of the extreme violence and sex trafficking, particularly in your area, how is this critical if we are going to make sure women are safe and can participate in a red dress...equally, like other people in different regions across the country?
