Yes, certainly. I think when people are given information.... While it's nice to give them a brochure or booklet, that's what I would call a passive delivery of information. There's no guarantee that someone has actually read that information or really understands what their rights are. So I think it would be an important measure to actually include that within the application form for spouses who are doing the sponsoring, and whatever forms the sponsored spouse has to sign.
There should be a document included in there that they have to read and that lays out all of the rights that we have here in Canada with respect to women's equality, freedoms, spousal child access, family law rights, common-law property rights. It should be very explicit and clear that things like polygamy, spousal abuse, domestic abuse, female genital mutilation, and all forms of honour-based violence, are illegal in Canada. They are not acceptable practices. The individual should have to sign a document attesting to the fact that they have read and do understand these rights. Perhaps they can be written in whatever language they're most comfortable with.
But I think it's really important that people understand their rights, not just the individual coming to Canada as a sponsored spouse but also the person doing the sponsoring.
