Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today. Obviously, many of you have been through very tragic incidents in the past, and our hearts go out to you as you try to carry on with your day-to-day lives.
My first question today is for Ms. Rathjen and Ms. Provost, please.
In your organization's brief on Bill C-21, you state that you, along with other major women's organizations, oppose the ex parte red flag measures that invite victims to go to court themselves to have firearms removed from their abusers. Can you please explain why you oppose this measure?
