One of my colleagues also spoke about the budget, which will be tabled next week. We look forward to seeing it and we hope you have spoken to the Minister of Finance.
Domestic violence is an intersectional issue. It concerns many people. For example, in Quebec, the report “Rebâtir la confiance” [Rebuilding trust] was tabled, which is non-partisan and involves several departments. Indeed, it affects justice, public security and the status of women.
I hope we do the same thing in Ottawa. Talking about money and coming to an agreement with the Minister of Finance is one thing, but there are other departments involved. For example, the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, as part of its study to explore solutions to end gender-based violence, tabled a report entitled “The Shadow Pandemic: stopping coercive and controlling behaviour in intimate relationships”. I was talking about it to my colleague, the member for Rivière‑du‑Nord.
Since some of the recommendations, such as the creation of a specialized court, concern the Department of Justice, have you had any discussions with your colleague the Minister of Justice?
