Yes. We do recommend that the requirement for documentation be put in the regulations and not be part of the legislation.
We agree that it could be very challenging for a survivor leaving a violent situation to access documentation while doing the basic tasks that she needs to do to make herself safe—for example, if she needs to go out and open a bank account, or things like that. The purpose of the leave is to do those basic tasks, which may take an hour or two at a time.
We agree with CLC on that and recommend that it be in the regulations.
