Good morning everyone. I want to thank you for being with us today. Your testimony has been very enlightening.
It is often said that individual cases result in significant progress for the community. As regards your struggles, I believe that is very important. We have talked a great deal about rights, but I would also like to talk about protection. We simply can't ignore that rights are connected to protection. In my opinion, in order for that protection to be there, injured parties must have access to programs. It is a well-known fact that in the vast majority of cases, victims of assault are women.
I would like to know whether, in your opinion, the protection of minority groups or women will be threatened as a result of the abolition of the Court Challenges Program. I would also like to know whether you believe there is a violation of equality rights here.
