Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the second panel, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Lacerte and Ms. Petrova, for their presentations.
My questions are for all three witnesses.
I want to delve a little deeper. Several witnesses who spoke to the committee as part of this study proposed ways to resolve some of the domestic violence issues, or at least to improve the situation. Suggestions included improving access to support resources, increasing funding for resources and doing more prevention. These are just some of the tools.
In Quebec, for example, a specialized court was established to address sexual and domestic abuse. This relates to the issue of raising public awareness.
Do you think that we should take action in this area?
There's also talk of introducing tracking bracelets for abusers.
What do you think about these legislative solutions that could go hand in hand with public awareness measures?
Could the federal government implement measures that are similar to the measures in Quebec, but that would apply to the whole country?
