I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

I want to thank Minister Farrell for his statement today and his public apology. The words that were exchanged during question time were extremely hurtful not just to me but to other First Nations women who were here in the chamber during question time. I think that this is a point of reflection for us here in this place—the higher standard we hold to ourselves about the words that we exchange in this place.
