Thank you, Madam Chair.
I also thank our witnesses.
Through you, Madam Chair, it seems that the opposition's sole agenda is to talk about conditional residence in Canada, but I want to share with everyone some things that numerous witnesses in this committee have mentioned. They have identified issues such as language barriers and a lack of information in foreign languages. They also talked about the fear of being stigmatized upon marriage breakdown and about parents who are desperate to get their daughters married in western countries. They also talked about a lack of employment and training and the recognition of foreign credentials, of course, and all these other issues, which I have not heard about even once from my colleagues from the opposition.
My first question will be to you, Ms. Herenda and Ms. Madawa. In your opinion, what can we do better to educate women pre-arrival to Canada or at least very soon after they come to Canada to ensure they are aware of the resources at their disposal should they be abused?
Ms. Madawa, I liked it when you mentioned something about a mandatory integration program. What are your proposals?
