Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to start with a question for Ms. Ritchie and, of course, express thanks for the frontline work she does on these issues. To start with, I'm going to ask a somewhat leading question.
Since I began working on this issue three years ago, we've had lots of women contact our office saying that they hadn't recognized that they were a victim of coercive controlling behaviour because no one had ever talked to them about it. I wonder whether you find in your counselling practice that people somehow think it's their problem, an individual problem, and that it's something that's not really recognized. Do you find that?
