Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that this government does not recognize how serious the situation is.
We learned this morning that there is an investigation being conducted into a new case of sexual assault at the Royal Military College. In their workplaces, their communities and their homes, too many women are still victims of violence.
Yesterday, the government had the opportunity to take action, but it chose to vote against the NDP motion to move forward with a national action plan and end violence against women.
When will the government understand that action is urgently needed and come up with a real strategy?
