Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thank you so much to all of our witnesses for the work that you do on the front lines and for sharing such incredible stories that need to be told. We can't manage it if we don't talk about it.
When we're talking about femicides, we're talking about intimate partner violence, and 94 municipalities in Ontario have declared intimate partner violence an epidemic.
Chief Betts, I've had the privilege to go out with some of your officers on ride-alongs, and the calls of domestic violence are shocking. Do you have any stats to share with the committee on the number of domestic calls you would have, and have you've seen a change in those numbers in your time?
