Thank you, Madam Chair, and as always, thank you for appearing Madame Audette, Madam Goodwin, and Madame Dumont-Smith. I know you've come before a number of committees, and your perspective is always appreciated.
I have looked at the National Forum on Ending Violence and Community Safety in Edmonton and have noted 47 pages of reports and recommendations at this point. Although we haven't had the resources to go through these 47 pages to find out exactly how many of the recommendations in these reports have been implemented, I suspect I could say quite confidently that very few of them have been, just because of other work we've done.
The goal of this committee was to meet and hear testimony and to propose solutions to address the root causes of violence. One of the outcomes of this committee has been determined by the motion that's before us, to propose solutions to address the root causes of violence.
Given the number of reports that have already been written, there is limited scope to what this committee has been tasked to achieve. You referenced a national public inquiry and you know we support that call, but there has also been reference to a national action plan. I wonder if you could address elements that you would see as being important in a national action plan, and if that could possibly be one of the outcomes of this committee.
I think Ms. Goodwin referenced some of that, because she talked about a thorough analysis of the reports and examining ways of going forward.
I wonder if you could talk about how you see going forward.
