Madam Speaker, I must say I find the hon. member's response rather shocking.
It seems to me that what the member is actually saying is that women who are beaten and sexually and physically abused should rely on bake sales. If we are really serious about violence against women in this society the bake sale option is not good enough. Let the military have a bake sale.
Does the member support zero tolerance of violence against women? If so, how does she propose that simply by the government not taking any role to support women through women's centres and support services that this will happen?
