Okay.
Let me just touch on something that I believe all three of you, Ms. Herenda, Ms. Madawa, and Mr. Waldman, touched on, with regard to informing people before they come here of what the Canadian system is. I think, Ms. Herenda, you used the word “orientation” about our laws and rights here in Canada.
I think it's important. Quite frankly, we cannot just ignore the fact that marriages of convenience happen and will happen considerably if we eliminate the conditional PR. One of the things we could inform people about, for example, is the fact that right on the CIC website there's an operational bulletin that provides the exceptions for which the conditional PR is lifted on the abused individual. There's a whole slew of exceptions—for example, any kind of court document, protective orders, releases, bail orders, and that kind of stuff. Perhaps it's a little bit more advanced for people in that they may not be ready to run to lawyers and run to courts to disclose their abuse, but they can provide a letter of statement from a women's shelter or domestic abuse support organization.
Ms. Herenda, I'm keenly aware of the great work that Yellow Brick House does in York region. A letter of statement from a family services clinic, a letter of statement or a report from a medical doctor, a sworn statement, an affidavit from them or from a family member or a friend, photos, injuries, voice mails, emails—a whole slew of things can be used as very useful tools by a person who is being abused.
To Ms. Herenda, when a woman who has been abused comes to you, what advice do you give them about the next steps they can take before they of course are threatened with removal from the country?
