And thank you for your comments, Honourable Jenny Kwan. I will share them with our team.
The challenges that we have right now are not going to stop. We've already had a pandemic. We're moving into the next phase of lessening social distancing. There is some sense that things are going to get even more pronounced as we move into this next phase, as women are making decisions. We're not done by any stretch. The $10 million that has been earmarked, and even the $50 million that was already provided, has only gotten us to this point, and it's only going to get us to this.
We need a long-term strategy because the lethality has increased. We haven't seen this many killings of women in such a short period of time in Canada. That should jar all of us to recognize that in addition to the many women who are killed, there are so many more living in fear of lethal violence. This is a time for Canada to make a bold step to redress and address what is clearly one of the most pressing social issues emerging in this health crisis.
