I just want to clarify

Status of Women committee  I have a couple of examples that I shared. One of the important ones that's in play right now is funding for the University of Calgary to identify strategies, practical approaches and supporting evidence on how to engage men and boys in advancing gender equality and preventing GB

Status of Women committee  We probably don't have enough time, so we will certainly follow up with the committee and send you the full list of the 1,200. I want to mention something that's really important. We have worked really hard with our partners at Women's Shelters Canada and the Canadian Women's Fo

Status of Women committee  Do you have anything to add right now, or will we follow up on best practices?

Status of Women committee  On that one, there will be witnesses from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Indigenous Services Canada on panel two, so I would just maybe leave it to them to speak specifically about the MMIWG question you have, but what I can tell you in terms of the important work we're doing at

Status of Women committee  I can definitely jump in here. I don't have the number in front of me, but I can confirm that for the 1,200 organizations that were funded with the $100 million, all the information is publicly available on our website.

Status of Women committee  Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to give you a date in particular, but what I can tell you is that in 2019, the Minister for Women and Gender Equality was mandated to build on the ongoing work of the Canada strategy to prevent and address gender-based violence. Since tha

Status of Women committee  I can confirm that since the onset of the pandemic, in terms of the emergency funding that we've been talking about, we've been working with three key partners to roll out the funding at record speeds. They are the Canadian Women's Foundation, Women's Shelters Canada and the Gove

Status of Women committee  Yes, absolutely. We're lucky enough at Women and Gender Equality to have a very great relationship through our federal-provincial-territorial forum of ministers responsible for the status of women. That FPT group was absolutely critical for us in even being able to identify shelt

Status of Women committee  You're right. The $105 million that I mentioned that was provided in budget 2021 can be used specifically to do work with men and boys. However, I just want to mention that it is building upon work that was started back in 2018, when we held a series of round table discussions on
