Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to come back, if I may, to the violence issue with Ms. Mihorean with regard to immigrant visible minority women.
I know that the studies are done with the English-speaking and French-speaking only, and that's part of the problem. I did volunteer work in the immigrant community for 20 years before being elected and I was doing work in this area for part of that time. So I can tell you that the bulk of the women in the Portuguese community, the Italian Canadian community, and a number of others were simply not reporting. I don't think you're picking it up, with all respect to you, and you're missing out. I don't know how much you're picking up from other South Asian women and others.
I feel there needs to be a study. Maybe Statistics Canada is the one to do it, I don't know. Obviously you should seek those other statistics anyway, that really address this area and start to try to identify and penetrate. Maybe it needs to be done with bilingual, bicultural workers.
I wonder if you had thought of that. I don't think your figures are accurate until you factor in the population that is not anglo- or franco-Canadian.
