We talked at length about whether or not this would be a repeat of the best practices study. That was not the goal. It was Status of Women that put forward the suggestion for the study, and the goal was to shine a spotlight on some areas of violence against young women that we know less about, all aspects of the data, how to address them, and what information is out there. We wanted it to feed into the federal gender violence-based strategy that is part of our minister's mandate letter. Getting experts in front of the committee on those issues, I think, would be very helpful.
These issues of violence are not emerging or new. Street harassment, for example, has always been there. It is the ones that have never had the spotlight focused on them in quite the same way. I had an opportunity, for example, to work on forced marriage in the last couple of years. Because the government had not really focused on that issue to the same extent in the past, there were many concrete measures that the government was able to take to address that kind of violence and to engage other jurisdictions in addressing. This was the type of thing that we had in mind when we put forward this study. There are very concrete things to address each different form of violence that I think this committee might be able to shine a light on.
