Roseann, thank you so much.
We went a little over time, but your passion was awesome. You really got your point across.
Thank you very much for your time.
We have to take a slight break here. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to table, on behalf of the committee, the committee's 15th report, “Surviving Abuse and Building Resilience—A Study of Canada’s Systems of Shelters and Transition Houses Serving Women and Children Affected by Violence”.
Because of that, I would like to draw the attention of all members to the presence of some of the founders of the first women's shelters in Canada, and the author who shone a light on their story.
The founders of the first women's shelters in Canada I'd like to introduce are Ardis Beaudry, Janet Currie, Therese d'Allaire-Laplante, Nicole Thauvette, Lorraine Penashuk, Natalie McBride and Lynn Zimmer. Also with us today is Margo Goodhand, author of Runaway Wives and Rogue Feminists: The Origins of the Women's Shelter Movement in Canada.
We would like to thank you all for coming.
