Thank you.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I will just start with the comment that everyone should feel valued, loved and safe. If there's anyone, particularly in my riding but also anywhere across Canada, who feels they can't go to the police and are in an unsafe position, I'd personally take that call and do everything I could to help that individual. If anyone in my riding particularly is feeling unsafe and they feel like they can't go to the police, please pick up the phone and I am more than happy to help them.
That being said, I'd like to direct my question to Ms. Baptie.
First of all, thank you very much for your testimony and for sharing your story. It is greatly appreciated. I know the strength it must take to share your story and to give this testimony.
You mentioned in your testimony that you would like to see this legislation take root or to be fully implemented. How do you think we could do that? How do you think the police could help with that? How could government officials help this legislation be more effective?
