Thank you so much, and thank you to the witnesses today.
My question is for Pamela Cross.
I know that you chaired the justice and legal systems working group. One of the recommendations from the working group was “[i]mproved immigration pathways that protect vulnerable immigrants, especially women, from precarious living conditions, exploitation, and abuse” by ensuring status for all.
Something that I'm a big supporter of is immigration status for all, and prioritizing permanent residence for survivors of GBV in Canada. Can you expand on the impact of status for all in addressing gender-based violence?
