Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all of you for being here today.
Ms. Tolley--Bridget--I want to echo our chair's thanks to you for sharing a profoundly personal story. We appreciate it, because it certainly gives us a greater understanding and insight into what many have experienced. Thank you.
I have so many questions and so little time. I'm going to start with Kim.
You and I have talked before, and one of the overriding issues—well, there are so many, but one of the issues that I'm concerned about—is that so many of the women who are incarcerated are in jail because they are responding to action by the perpetrator of violence against them. What we encountered in our travels was extraordinary stories of systemic racism.
I wonder whether you could elaborate, as we did in a private conversation, on some of the experiences you've had with women who are in jail and who are there because they are victims.
