Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for having accepted our invitation to appear before our committee to answer our questions. Thank you for everything you do for Canadian women and girls.

In Budget 2018, the government announced that as of 2018-2019, it would provide an additional $86 million over five years, as well as $20 million a year subsequently to broaden Canada's strategy to fight violence against women.

I'd like you to explain how the Budget 2018 funding for that strategy differs from that in Budget 2017. Also, how will women and girls in Canada benefit from that strategy?
