Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Many thanks to the three of you for being here with us today for the study of this important bill. I must point out, especially to Ms. Willaume Fabricius, that the debate on Bill S-7 is not on the existence of barbaric and cruel practices of violence against women. All the parties in the House recognize that this is a problem, that we need to get serious about it and set up the necessary resources. The debate is actually on how to do so. Some aspects of Bill S-7 raise concerns and could make the problem worse instead of solving it. Not all the measures are problematic, but some of them raise concerns. That is what I would like to talk to you about.
Ms. Willaume Fabricius, can you hear the interpretation?
