Mr. Speaker, 25 years ago, on December 6, 1989, 14 women were killed just because they were women.
As part of our duty to remember these victims of misogyny, we must do better at supporting women who are victims of violence and their families. However, in 2014, 67% of Canadians know a woman—a mother, a daughter or a friend—who has been a victim of violence. This reality is unacceptable.
Will the government work with us to eradicate violence against women in our society?
