Thank you very much, Ms. Ambrose. I appreciate very much your evident understanding and appreciation of the severity of this issue and the systemic barriers that women are facing in the judicial system. Also, thank you for your acknowledgement of this committee's report on violence against young women and girls.
First of all, before I get to my questions, I'd like to go to something you said, that you've been advocating on this since you were in grad school. You were the Minister of Status of Women. Your government was in power for 10 years. You just said that it didn't occur to you that judges weren't getting training, but it has been in the media. Advocacy groups have been pushing for this for a number of years. Was it never considered in your government, over 10 years in the previous government, to act on something such as this?
