Mr. Speaker, tomorrow will be the 13th anniversary of the massacre at École Polytechnique in Montreal where 14 women lost their lives just because they were women. Tomorrow all over the country Canadians will mark this tragic anniversary. At Toronto's Women's College Hospital it will be their 12th anniversary marking this day.
Every day, women are targets of violence. Could the Secretary of State responsible for the Status of Women tell the House what steps the federal government is taking to bring attention to this very important issue?
