Thank you to all the witnesses. All of you do work that is very important in our communities, with some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
I have a Nisa Homes in my riding. They do great work and I'm very proud of them. Thank you for doing that work in a very niche community where cultural sensitivity is paramount and knowing that culture is very important. Working with those vulnerable women in a very discreet way when they come to you is even more paramount.
I am going to ask this question of either of the Nisa Homes witnesses.
How are you seeing children who live in households with controlling and coercive behaviour being impacted, especially during the time of COVID? Are they experiencing controlling or coercive behaviour in their households, and are you able to help them through your organization? Can you elaborate on that?
