Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to pick up on something we heard today and yesterday. It has been prevalent along the way. It is the apprehension of children, which we're hearing a lot about, and the numbers of children. What we also heard is that when domestic violence occurs, many women do not come forward, either to social service agencies or to the police--or to whomever--because of the fear of losing their children.
Can you speak to that in terms of how it can be addressed? I understand that there's always a concern of what's in the best interests of the child, but it creates a whole other layer of issues.
Let me start with Carolyn. What is the province doing and what recommendations would you have to the federal government?
