Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. Bayes.
I'm going to pick up on the family violence issue. Various studies show that the risk of serious family violence that can have lethal consequences is much higher among Canadian women of indigenous origin than among non-aboriginals. It is therefore essential that the bill take cultural differences into account in the fight against family violence.
Ms. Bayes, based on your organization's experience, do you think the bill should contain elements that enable you to provide assistance more specifically to Canadian women of aboriginal origin who must deal with family violence?
