Yes, I understand.
First, I would mention the three Quebec organizations that indeed are responsible for helping and supporting shelters in Quebec. Quebec is leading some consultations and already has an action plan to prevent domestic and sexual violence. Right now, I think organizations in Quebec need more consultation with the Quebec government. If something is missing, they turn to the federal government, because they are heard.
Federal policies influence Quebec's policies in that the national action plan to end gender-based violence is a mechanism that helps prevent violence across Canada. Therefore, I completely support the autonomy of Quebec's organizations who have been doing this work for years. In fact, they do it very well.
