Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for your testimony.
Clearly, the root causes of violence are complex and many. I noted several. It may include being homeless, poverty, residential schools, mental health, historical bias, trafficking of women, lack of education, and so on. You summarized that by saying it was a systemic problem.
I do not want to deny the importance of any of these factors of violence against women, but are there one or two factors that are predominant or more critical? I know that each case is different, as are the circumstances.
