I appreciate everyone's passion and knowledge. I hope I bring a different perspective to things today.
Ms. Elmslie, you mentioned how important it is to address men and boys in this issue as well. If you've grown up in a home of violence, you're more likely to be a perpetrator in the future.
I want to touch on something with Ms. Arnott. As many in this room know, Sheldon Kennedy and I have been friends for many years. I've had the opportunity to work with him through the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary. What I found really interesting with that program is that it brings everybody together under one roof: mental health, social workers, and RCMP.
Can you talk a bit about the child advocacy centres? I don't know of other ones across Canada. I'm finding it interesting that this seems like a program that Justice is working on. Could you elaborate a little on that and on some of the work that's being done to raise awareness and to cut that chain in order to address these abused children at a young age so they don't continue that cycle?
