Mr. Speaker, I can certainly assure the hon. member, knowing her own personal interest in this issue and the interest of her party, that we are going to do everything we can to live up to the commitments that we made in the red book to make Canada a fairer and a safer place for all women.
That is why we moved within the first year on specific legislation on gun control, a very strong package which could prevent the Marc Lepine massacre from happening again. That is why we are moving very soon on pay equity legislation, so the women in the public service get the equal treatment they deserve. That is why we will respect our commitment to core funding for transition houses, so the women of Canada can be protected from violence whether it comes from the streets, from their neighbours or sadly, from their own homes.
