I would also like to share with you the INAC initiatives that specifically target violence against women, and explain how INAC works in partnership with other federal departments, provinces, and Aboriginal peoples in order to contribute to the overall response to this serious issue, particularly on reserve, but also in Aboriginal communities and urban centres. The department is responsible for two mandates, Indian and Inuit affairs and northern development, which together support Canada's aboriginal and northern peoples in the pursuit of healthy and sustainable communities and broader economic and social development objectives.
De plus, je souhaite vous faire connaître les initiatives du ministère visant expressément la violence faite aux femmes et vous expliquer comment Affaires indiennes et du Nord Canada collabore avec d'autres ministères fédéraux, les provinces et les Autochtones à la formulation d'une réponse globale afin de régler ce problème grave, particulièrement dans les réserves, mais aussi dans les communautés autochtones et les centres urbains.
