I thank all of you for coming today. It's really important and a great discussion.
Last week, a group of us from all parties joined together to do Shine the Light here on Parliament Hill. It was the first time it had been highlighted on Parliament Hill, and the Peace Tower was turned purple. It was wonderful to see not just female but also so many male MPs engaged in something even as simple as getting their photo taken in front of the tower, just to show that they too stood up.
I trust the words that you said today, Walter. They are exactly the same words that my husband has said as well about how important it is to get men engaged, and that you have to live as the example. He lives as the example to my three sons, and that is very important, as well as to my daughters who have to recognize that they cannot allow this to happen to themselves.
Starting with that—and this goes for both the White Ribbon campaign and for Halton—we have heard about the extreme importance of getting men and young boys involved. We have heard you talk about going into the schools and some of the red-tape issues you have.
What is the best thing for us to do to get men inspired? Getting into schools is one thing, but what other functions do you hold, or what other events do you hold to get more men involved? I am going to continue with this one, because I recognize I have only a few minutes, and you guys can speak freely. I know, for instance, that the White Ribbon Campaign runs from November 25 to December 6. What is done outside of that calendar period so that we can make sure this is not just a two-week event but something that is looked at 365 days a year? I think sometimes that when it is front of mind, it's there, and we always need to be make sure that it's front of mind.
Walter and Alma, maybe you could start, and then we'll move over.
