First and foremost, along with all of my colleagues, let me thank you for your courage. It's certainly a pleasure to have you here today. When we took on this study, it was with a lot of personal passion, and you were certainly two of the witnesses who were top of mind for me and who I wanted to hear from. Thank you.
I am very interested in having you two expand on some of the legislative changes that you might see needing to be made. You've alluded to a number of them. The fact that you went to the RCMP and were more or less shrugged off really concerns me. I'm wondering how we define that identifiable path, if you will. In other words, a mom comes in and has some concerns, so what is that identifiable path for every single RCMP or police agency across the country? What does that protocol look like? That's really what I would love us to define, so that we could put forward a really great concrete strategy from this committee moving forward.
That's what I'm looking to you for. Clearly, you've gone through this. You have first-hand experience, and you might be able to help me out. From the time a mother walks into a police agency or a police office and has a conversation, what does that process need to look like? Also, what are the legislative pieces that need to be in place in order to empower her?
