Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I certainly will be voting in favour of this motion. This may have been said, but in May of 2014 the RCMP released the national review on missing and murdered Aboriginal children. The most comprehensive account in Canada to date and the most glaring fact was Aboriginal women, or 4.3 percent of the total population, yet 16 percent of all female homicides are Aboriginal. This is why, when women are missing, there is fear in our communities, fear with the families and fear with everybody.

What this motion means to me, and us as MLAs, and us as a government, is that we support our women, support our Aboriginal communities when they say this overrepresentation has to stop. We must find the root cause. I believe that a national inquiry would do that. I am not too sure about the roundtable, but I think that the Premier has heard us. A roundtable, yes, it’s significant, but it has got to have teeth. It has got to find out the important things that a national inquiry can have to find out the root causes, and the investigations into our missing and murdered women throughout Canada have to be investigated thoroughly, and I think that’s what the Aboriginal groups, all Aboriginal groups want from Canada. Thank you.
