Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses again for being here today.
Ms. Boucher, you talked about the question of social determinants in your remarks and you mentioned that when I asked my questions. What I understand from your testimony is that your groups need financial support. The question of transfers is therefore important, particularly for the workforce, to offer better pay for the people who staff your organization. I also understand that more investment has to be made in social housing, a field in which the federal government can also do something and one that we can look into.
I also wanted to talk about the issue of violence against women. My reason is that the Government of Quebec has published a very interesting report on combatting sexual violence and spousal violence, "Rebuilding Trust", which contains a number of recommendations.
At the end of last week, on Sunday, a demonstration took place to denounce spousal violence and the fact that men whose sentences are under the federal government's jurisdiction do not get the same treatment as men whose sentences are under Quebec's jurisdiction, particularly with regard to the notorious electronic bracelet question. When it comes to all these safety issues, the federal government needs to align its strategies to combat violence against women with Quebec's and prevent one of the social determinants that has consequences for women's mental health.
