The Action Plan includes a range of measures, totaling nearly $200 million over five years to address crimes against Aboriginal women and girls and builds on the Government of Canada’s earlier investments to improve community safety, and to enhance the justice system and law enforcement response to cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
