Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to those witnesses I've seen at status of women. We actually studied violence against young women and girls as well as the private member's bill on judicial training. Sadly, much of the testimony we've had today hasn't been to do with Bill C-51; it's actually been on the same issues we heard about.
One of the challenges, of course, is that we have federal and provincial judiciary courts, so where is the money coming from? Is it the provincial or the federal government? I hear what you're saying. One of the most compelling witnesses we had represented crown attorneys, who said that when survivors of gender-based violence come forward, they think the crown attorney is representing them and not the state, so they feel they have a representative in court, but then when they get there, they're let down when they find that that's not their representative.
When you were talking about the need for someone to be with them, I completely agree with you. I don't think that's something covered in this bill, though.
Do you think the right to legal representation during the rape shield provisions, that part of it, is a good thing?
