I fully appreciate that.
I had the opportunity to meet Cat for the first time in Cold Lake. I had my son at the groundbreaking of the newest women's shelter in Cold Lake. I brought him when we cut the ribbon on the brand new building. A number of women who were survivors from that shelter came up to me and said, “I had no choice but to bring my child. The fact that you brought your child makes this more normal, so thank you for showing that leadership.” Actually, Cat's husband helped wrangle my son when he decided it was no longer fun for him—so, thank you, Matthew, for that.
It goes to show that there is really a community that's required. These are spaces where.... If you have any best practices you want to share—my time is very quickly running out—please send them in writing to our committee. It would be ridiculously helpful. One of the reasons I bring up the gasoline piece is that there are a lot of things—there are systemic problems—but this could be solved today by a government with the stroke of a pen and could make a huge difference.
