Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ms. Champagne, Ms. Lee, I am amazed by your aplomb. What you've shared today sheds new light on the committee's work.
I'd like to echo your words, Ms. Champagne, and I'll keep them in mind: women's shelters are, in fact, sanctuaries. Of course, the beds come to mind. For some women, entering a shelter means it's the first night in a very long time that they'll sleep without fearing for their lives. That's not insignificant.
These shelters—these sanctuaries—are kept afloat by trained and passionate staff. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but that staff is likely also running on fumes. That's what I'm hearing in conversations here in Quebec, anyway.
Can you give us an overview of the situation for support workers—on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to support those women? I think it's important to address this in the report and in the recommendations we'll be presenting to the government.
