Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, keeping in line with my Member's statement today and many Members' statements today on International Women's Day, I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Status of Women, I guess a status update, on there is a proposed MMIWG advisory committee in the work that the GNWT is doing in responding to the calls to justice. I would like to know what's going on with that committee and if it has been formed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member from Great Slave. Minister responsible for the Status of Women.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Northwest Territories, we created -- in partnership with NGOs and Indigenous governments, we created a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls advisory committee in direct response to the Calls for Justice to ensure Indigenous governments, women's organizations, and 2SLGBQ2IA+ organizations have an ongoing and formal role advising government on implementation. Members are appointed directly by Indigenous governments, ensuring legitimacy and community-driven leadership in shaping our collective response. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for that. I am glad the committee has been established. The updates -- the last public updates we saw, it wasn't clear. So I am curious, is the Minister able to share terms of reference for that said committee? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course I am able to share the roles and responsibilities of the advisory committee, including providing advice and guidance to the implementation of the action plan to support the work towards addressing the effects of colonization, as well as racial and gender discrimination at all levels of government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister responsible for the Status of Women. Final supplementary. Member from Great Slave.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yeah, no, thank you to the Minister for that. And I am hoping if there are formal terms of reference that she could share those with the committee.
Mr. Speaker, also, is it possible for the Minister to share what the committee has accomplished thus far in terms of their review of the GNWT's response to the MMIWG Calls to Justice? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course I am able to share that with the Member. And I think it's really important that this advisory committee get up and running with its terms of reference. And finalizing the terms of reference was really important. The first step was really crucial and critical to this committee to get formalized. And they've had four meetings to date as an advisory committee, and I can share those results with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister responsible for the Status of Women. Oral questions. Member from the Sahtu.
