It is clear from recent history that such a week is long overdue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4878144\" data-originallang=\"en\">My hon. colleague obviously believes that Canada still has a long way to go to achieve gender equality and to achieve justice for indigenous women and girls.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4878145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could my colleague tell us how we could best address and identify the underlying causes of violence toward women, especially indigenous women and girls?</p>",
