I would echo that.
We have two seniors shelters in Alberta that are ACWS members, one in Calgary and one in Edmonton. Most people don't know those even exist. They are spectacular. They make the best food. They are the best ladies. The shelters are overflowing. There's just not enough space there. Have more supports for women in community—but maybe not at the shelter level, because what we see at those seniors shelters, of course, is more about familial violence than intimate partner violence.
I will add another thing to the financial piece. In Alberta's recent 10-year strategy, one of the pillars is providing more financial stability for women. For example, some women do shift work. Add more ability for them to do that. It's not a Monday-to-Friday thing. How does a mom do respite care or day care when she works overnight? Look at those different facets, and look at different ways women make a living. How do we support them in all those different areas? It's not a cookie-cutter situation.
Again, I'm echoing that we need to look at the basics provided in social funding to support women.
