I think the case of missing and murdered aboriginal women and the ongoing call for a public inquiry so we can take a look at the root causes speaks to the purpose of a bill like this. So that's my answer to your other question.
We strongly believe that violence against women is ended by paying attention to things like women's economic agency, ensuring that women have the kinds of supports they need to be able to leave abusive relationships, and ensuring that women, especially poor and racialized women, including indigenous women, have the wherewithal to be able to participate fully without fear of violence or being put in a position where they encounter violence.
That is not to say that violence only happens to poor women—not at all. But we do know that for women who are poor and do not have the necessary economic resources, their cases tend to go unrecognized. They are the least likely to report violence because of their history of engaging with the criminal justice system. They are often re-victimized, so they do not put themselves in that position, or they may not even have access to the system. In the case of immigrant and refugee women, it's often a language issue. But we strongly believe that the way to address violence against women is to ensure that we have the services in place to educate men and women about women's rights and to address issues of patriarchy, regardless of which cultural groups they belong to.
