Thank you so much, Chair.
I want to acknowledge that I think all of us are on the same page in terms of wanting to address intimate partner violence. We're all pretty intense about it. I know I've spent a career being intense about it.
In saying that, I think one thing we need to remember as legislators is that many of us haven't had this lived experience and we're making the laws. One of my concerns is specifically the fact that the very people who are overrepresented in terms of experiencing intimate partner violence will not even use this system, because they don't get a response. We know this from the national inquiry. When indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQQIA call for help, whether it's to deal with it or even look for them, nobody shows up.
I want you to expand on that, Sarah. You spoke to an amendment. Why is that amendment so critical if we're going to address the statistical majority of people experiencing intimate partner violence?
