Madam Chair do we have at least three years for this study? I agree that it is very important. In fact, it's essential.
Just this weekend, there was a report indicating that Canadian women were less likely than men to be treated at hospital emergency rooms. That is one more sign of poor budgeting, where funds are invested in men rather than in women.
These are very important issues. But if we do this study, we will have to put a real emphasis on all aspects, including education, health and social housing. We are embarking on a very wide-ranging study, Madam Chair, but I'm happy we are doing it. If we decide to go ahead, we will put everything else aside, tackle this issue and achieve something. But we will need to have the tools and the resources to do the job properly.
