Video: Laureen Harper sidesteps question on inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's wife Laureen was confronted with a challenging question as she welcomed guests to the International Cat Video Festival in Toronto.

Hailey King, who's been associated in the past with the ShitHarperDid project, interrupted the cat-ear clad prime minister's wife.

"Mrs. Harper, raising awareness about cat welfare is a good look for your husband's upcoming campaign strategy," King said. "Don't you think supporting an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in this country would be a better look for your husband's upcoming campaign strategy?"

Laureen Harper responded that if King would like to donate to animals, this would be welcomed.

King replied: "If you would like to support an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in this country, that would be a great cause. Thank you."

As King was escorted out of the theatre, Laureen Harper continued with her speech about needy cats.
