The reason I asked is that when the Lethbridge YWCA appeared at the status of women committee in 2018, after the meeting, I actually asked them about that. They said exactly what you did about firearms being used as threats, either against them or the children or companion animals, and so the women were hesitant to leave. They told a horrific story about some kids who reacted to a “bang” thinking that it was a firearm going off.
Anyway, thank you, and thank you to all of the witnesses for being here today.
