In my earlier remarks, what I said was that really there is an accident of birth in Canada that should not be allowed. Whether I'm born a child of a first generation family, whether I'm born as an aboriginal child, whether I'm born in a remote region or an urban region, the services I get, the prevention measures in place, the kind of policing to which I'll have access, the kind of legal aid to which I'll have access are up for grabs. They shouldn't be. On this issue of violence against women and children across the country, we should be able to know that we have access and equity in terms of the preventions that are in place to protect us, the provision of services if something happens to us, and the justice to which we will have access to remedy that.
