That area is not really my focus of expertise, but I think ensuring that there's a very good screening process would be very important, as would maybe having a very full interview process and strengthening that process. But again I'm really going back to the core issue here of how we are protecting women who are vulnerable and are at risk of being isolated when they come to Canada as sponsored spouses.
How can we better integrate them so that they can be successful, so that they can meet people, they can access health care, and they can access shelter workers, women's centres, and education facilities? How can we do this?
I think it's really through education. We have to make sure that women who are coming as sponsored spouses have some kind of language requirements when they get here, that they are fully aware of their rights, and that the person sponsoring them is fully aware of their rights and the fact that any practices around women's abuse are not acceptable in this country.
I think that's where we really need to focus and strengthen.
