I would definitely say that there is always improvement, particularly for immigrant women, in terms of family reunification. We talked briefly about the child care provision for many government-assisted refugees. When they come here, they are attending the RAP, the resettlement assistance program. At this point, there is still no child care provision for them. Recently, CIC introduced some funding support for child care if someone has to access settlement services. In fact, there is not much funding for it, so it's not an easy access for many immigrant women who have children. As Debbie Douglas mentioned, we see that understanding about the family dynamics, understanding the role that women will play in Canada, and also understanding the way of parenting, the school system, and domestic violence are issues that immigrant women need to learn about.
In terms of obstacles, I would say that the introduction of conditional residence may put many immigrant women at risk, because their citizenship or their permanent residence may be taken away, or their partners may use it as a control method of retaining.
