Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I would like to acknowledge that today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

I also want to thank all of the witnesses for sharing their knowledge with us today.

I want to ask my first questions of Ms. Zaccour.

Ms. Zaccour, right now, the term “femicide” has many definitions across different jurisdictions. If Canada were to add the offence of femicide to the Criminal Code, which definition has proven to be the most promising? Could you talk about that?
