That is indeed an interesting aspect.
You talked about Public Safety, but you also spoke about the Department for Women and Gender Equality when it comes to prevention. Clearly, this work must be done upstream and downstream, but there is also a middle ground. We cannot ignore any of those three aspects.
There must be co-operation among the various departments. The work needs to focus on prevention and education and on supporting women from the outset. We also need to do a better job of identifying victims and ensuring that we have more tools, at our borders in particular, even though that I know that most of these crimes are committed in Canada. What tools will help us to better identify victims so that we can help them?
We hope to work on prevention to reduce the number of women who end up in this situation. There is some form of co-operation between the various departments in Ottawa, but there must also be co-operation among the different levels of government. We need to consider the issue of social services to support the women, particularly in Quebec. Our federal laws also need to take into account the capacity of the various levels of government to support victims. There are even things that could be done in terms of housing, for example, the implementation of projects at the municipal level. How can the various levels of government work together?
