My apologies. I was caught up in another event.
I have lots of questions, but my two major questions.... I travelled in western Canada with the committee. What we saw was extraordinary, and what we heard was extraordinary, and we will be talking about it, reporting on it. And the systemic racism was something that just overwhelmed us.
One of the issues that came out in the hearings—and I'm picking up on Michelle and Irene's comments—was the number of women who were incarcerated, who were incarcerated in fact because they were victims of violence and responded in any one of a number of ways.
I've since had conversations with the Elizabeth Fry Society, and I'm hoping it will come before the committee. It has cited cases where access to legal aid, as you'd talked about, and various plea bargaining processes prevailed there.
Have you done any work on this particular area, that women who are in turn abused, respond, and then are incarcerated?
