Good afternoon, Madam Chair. I feel as if I'm a bit far away. My apologies.
Minister, welcome. Thank you for joining us.
Ms. McRae and Mr. Massie, it's a pleasure to see you again.
Minister, in your opening remarks, you mentioned that this committee is doing a good job. You're quite right. As our new chair likes to put it, our group is a bit hyperactive, and we're quite proud of that.
On a more serious note, yesterday, we were devastated to hear about Quebec's alleged 10th femicide. However, the violent death of a young woman, the 30-year-old Shannon Jean Hickey, is not alleged. The young lady's identity was released today.
The committee recently heard from the Minister of Justice, your colleague the Honourable Sean Fraser, who told us about the government's strategy to fight against femicide, which is the most violent and fatal form of gender-based violence. He spoke to three pillars.
What would you tell us if we were to focus on the component under your department? Please be specific. I know that in your opening remarks, you spoke about programs, obviously. Can you give us a breakdown of the budget allocated to the fight against femicide?
