Mr. Speaker, that was an extremely good question and I want to thank the hon. member.
The government has taken a number of initiatives specifically targeting violence against women. These include many important criminal law reforms.
These include the gun control act, the witness protection program, the SIN de-linking and the laws that strengthen anti-stalking initiatives.
We know that legislation alone will not change society.
We have a $32 million initiative each year for crime prevention that specifically targets women and girls.
