Status of Women committee  I'd like to speak to the waiting list. As I said, I get a lot of calls at my office. We have a list of all our member centres, and we can dispatch depending on where the women live. I know which of my centres have waiting lists. Most of them are in big centres like Montreal, Quebec City, or Sherbrooke.

Status of Women committee  Yes, but perhaps I could add something quickly. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but sometimes in Quebec we're accused of trying to create our own jobs by asking for funding. That's so insulting because honestly, all of our workers, all of our counsellors, the only thing they would wish for is not to have jobs anymore because that would mean that there wouldn't be any more violence against women.

Status of Women committee  Hello. Thank you for having me today. I'm prepared in French so I'm going to present in French, but I'm very capable of answering in English. Most of my presentation has just been said, so thank you very much for bringing up those recommendations and those ideas. The Quebec coalition of sexual assault centres, or CALACS, was founded in 1979.
