Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think this is a very important motion. Sexual violence against women, and children in particular, is an issue that concerns us all. It is a problem in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.
I agree with Mr. MacGregor's proposal. Let's start with six meetings and then, if we see that we need to go beyond that, we'll make adjustments. I wouldn't put “at least eight meetings”, because that's a lot to start with. Afterward, we can see how many witnesses we have to submit.
I hear people say that another committee is already looking at this issue. I'm always torn when work is duplicated in the House of Commons, when a number of committees are studying the same subjects or issues. Perhaps we should see what kind of work has been done or is being done at the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Otherwise, I don't necessarily see a problem with this motion.
