Madam Speaker, any act of violence against women is unacceptable in Canadian society. We are committed to put an end to this form of discrimination and violence against women. I assure you that we read the report that was released and that we will educate women in those communities through the Department of Health so that they know what practices are acceptable and what practices are not here in Canada. I hope that they will understand that it is not acceptable, here in Canada or anywhere else in the world.
