Absolutely. We originally had built in a piece about that and pulled it out because of time. That is absolutely something we are advocating for. As you know, there's kind of a range, around five or 10 days, that has been developed across the different provinces.
What we hear anecdotally over and over again is that when women leave violent relationships and they're in transition homes, they're dealing with so many different pieces of their lives at the same moment. They're dealing with housing. They're dealing with their medical issues, the physical and psychological impacts of leaving a violent relationship. They are dealing with their legal issues, the relationship falling apart, child support, and so on. They're having to take their children with them through all of these meetings with lawyers and doctors, because the transition homes are not in a position to provide child care.
Domestic violence leave factors into that. They're dealing with having to work at the same time, or they're trying to get leave or get on social assistance. You can imagine all these things happening at the same time. One piece the federal government can step in on is on giving them leave from work. Another piece is providing legal assistance. Another piece is providing child care. All of that means that women are in a much better place to get their lives back on track and to keep themselves and their children safe.
