As you may know, this committee heard the testimony of many families of victims at our last session in December. Your report, which was published I think last week, “World Report 2014”, unfortunately doesn't mention that. I guess you weren't aware of it at the time you wrote the report.
What we were told by many of those victims' families was that the women who were missing had been abused by either a family member or a spouse, a partner. In a number of cases, it was the understanding of the victims' families that the murderer was actually that domestic partner, or that in other cases the women ran away from their communities to get away from the domestic abuse.
I am wondering if you found anything similar in your research. It's kind of curious that the families of the 12 victims, the families from across Canada who we heard from, didn't have a different story than the ones you spoke to in British Columbia.
