Madam Speaker, later today, I will be tabling a draft work plan that outlines how the Government of the Northwest Territories will undertake the preparation of an action plan to respond to the Calls for Justice presented in the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This document represents this government’s next steps forward in addressing the systemic causes of violence directed at Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people.
