Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I want to start with you, Ms. Nizigama, because you were talking about the amount of violence that is happening and the danger if women return to where they came from. That's why our government is trying to advance Bill C-16, so we can get at such things as coercive control and prevent the femicides that are happening. I know that the national action plan on gender-based violence is up for renewal. How important is it to renew that?
