Thank you.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
Good morning, Ms. Jeshani and Ms. Dugal.
My first questions are for Ms. Walker and Ms. Alexander. I'm glad they have an opportunity to address the committee again.
I would also like to express my condolences to Ms. Irons. My thoughts go out to this mother who lost her daughter. I am the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl. I can't even imagine what it's like to lose your daughter, knowing that she was a victim of violence at the hands of her intimate partner. This is a very emotional topic.
Your comments were a little different from the ones you made this summer. Some things struck me during your testimony at the time. If I may, I'm going to go back to questions that I took the time to prepare during your opening remarks in the summer.
Ms. Alexander, in July, you said that non-disclosure orders issued by police forces were a way of silencing victims, of shutting them up.
I would like you to tell us more about that. What are the impacts of non-disclosure agreements?
