I'll add also that investing in women's organizations is critical, and our government has done that. When we took money away from women's organizations in this country, we left a lot of women vulnerable.
Women's shelters that include children, shelters to which they're allowed to bring children, are critical. Many communities have homeless shelters, but they're for men; we need homeless shelters for women also. We need transition houses and we need to make sure that we support and fund them.
When I was in Regina, I was stunned at how many women had to be turned away from the shelter because of the waiting list. They didn't have the room. When you turn women away, you often put their children in jeopardy. If we want to make sure we support women in our communities, we need to support those organizations that are front-line workers, who work every day, as Ms. Martin did for so many years, supporting vulnerable women.
