Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being with us and sharing your knowledge today.
My first question is for Ms. Lalonde.
First of all, thank you for your efforts and the public education you are doing.
In 2014, a general social survey on Canadian safety found that nearly one in five victims of stalking also experienced actual physical violence.
What sort of preventive strategies are needed to keep stalking from escalating to femicide? You said that early intervention and recognizing stalking behaviour can prevent the escalation to femicide. I want to know your views.
