Thank you very much to all the witnesses. I found your testimony to be excellent and important.
The first question is for Mr. Valentine. In my prior career, I did a bit of work with people who had come to Canada through the caregiver program and were victims of violence in that context, with their employer or whomever they were working for.
My understanding of the program is that there is no longer a live-in requirement, but that you don't get permanent residency. You explained earlier that there are certain settlement services that are available to people who obtain permanent residency. Do you see this as a barrier or maybe a potential cause of increasing incidence of violence against women who come through the caregiver program?
