I'm sorry to interrupt, Mrs. McRae.
Can you establish a specific number for us? Are we improving? Are we declining? I'm not hearing about a lot of opportunities for women trying to escape this violence—that there's a place for them to live. I speak to individuals who are running shelters. The stay in shelters is becoming longer and longer, because there is no affordable housing. Maybe we could table that. It's something I've heard that I'm concerned about.
My next question is on this: Many women in Canada continue to face disproportionate economic pressures related to housing, caregiving responsibilities and inflation. They're forgotten. I know we had an individual, James Janeiro, as a witness a few weeks ago. He mentioned that, a lot of times, caregivers are not rewarded for the time they must leave their jobs to take care of the elderly.
Is there anything your department knows regarding how many opportunities...or the number of caregivers having to leave their jobs to take care of the elderly?
