Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank all of the witnesses for your excellent presentations today. I wanted to start out with Ms. English.
You spoke about the need to fund it with the urgency it deserves, as we need to do for all other health crises that we're currently experiencing, and I couldn't agree with you more on that. You mentioned that in Manitoba we currently have the highest rates of violence in the country. You spoke to the desperate need to use an intersectional approach, especially with under-represented and underserved populations, including indigenous, Black, 2SLGBTQ+, newcomer communities and disability communities.
Can you explain why there is a need, and what that looks like on the ground in terms of urgency?
