Thank you so much, Andréanne.
You know that we have always worked hand in hand with Quebec when it comes to issues such as these. It is very important that we do. We have had at WAGE long-standing and positive relationships with provincial officials in Quebec. This takes place, as you likely know, bilaterally, as well as through the federal, provincial and territorial forum of ministers responsible for the status of women.
Last August, Canada announced an investment of more than $44 million to Quebec to enhance the assault centres, the women's shelters that I had previously talked about, and other organizations that provide critical services and supports for those experiencing gender-based violence. This was an addition, Andréanne, to the nearly $17.5 million in COVID emergency funding transferred directly to Quebec from Canada in 2020 and 2021, and it supported more than 300 organizations that needed that help. I will be even more particular: It was 347.
