Thank you.
Ideally I'd be able to ask all of you questions, but I'm going to go through as many of them as I can.
I'm going to start quickly with Pamela Cross.
After Pamela Cross answers the question, the rest of you feel free to chime in as well, if you like.
The bill, as it stands, clearly does a lot to help keep victims of intimate violence physically safe, but I think that's only half of the equation. I cannot imagine the amount of trauma, emotional and mental trauma, that still exists, even though the partner and any children who witness the abuse may be physically removed from the situation.
Could you elaborate on the importance of mental and emotional supports in the immediate aftermath of these situations for the victims?
