Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Through you, I'd like to thank my colleagues for being here today and for sharing what they've been going through. I think pretty much every female member of Parliament has been subject to it.
I have two questions.
I just want to preface this. I'm sure you're aware that, currently, the workplace harassment and violence prevention policy of members of the House of Commons does not apply to harassment between members. That is a loophole. Right now, a member of Parliament who is being harassed by another member of Parliament has no venue and no recourse, and we're trying to close that. I want to talk a little bit about that, and I'd like to hear your feedback.
Ms. Damoff, you mentioned that, when you go out, you're concerned for your physical safety. Have you taken steps when you're out at an event for your own safety? Could you describe if you have and and what those would be?
