Motion 444 is Ms. Ashton's motion on a national action plan to address violence against women. We spoke a little bit about it in relation to Dr. Bennett's motion. This motion calls on the government to create a national action plan to address violence against women, in collaboration with the provinces, territories, civil society, first nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and their representatives—just a broad consultation.
It does not concern questions that are outside the federal jurisdiction. It does not clearly violate the Constitution acts, including the Canadian charter. It does not concern questions that are substantially the same as ones already voted on by the House in the current session of Parliament or preceding it in the order of precedence. Again, Dr. Bennett's motion is substantially narrower. Finally, this motion does not concern questions that are currently on the order paper or notice paper as items of government business.
