Mr. Speaker, as has been mentioned in the House before, there have been over 40 studies completed.
I will give members a quote. This is a quote from Bernadette Smith, one of those individuals who has a sister who is missing. She said:
This Action Plan is something that our families have been waiting for. I would like to thank...the Government for their commitment to addressing this issue.... We've had numerous studies on this issue and the time for action is now. We can't stand idly by and talk about this without taking...action. This Action Plan will have a direct impact on families and it will help keep our women and girls safe.
