Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition to end violence against women, signed by many residents of Vancouver Kingsway. They point out that 60% of women with disabilities in Canada are likely to experience some form of violence in their lifetimes, that indigenous women in Canada are seven times more likely to be murdered than non-indigenous women, and that women were 11 times more likely than men to be the victims of sexual offences.
These people call on the Government of Canada to create a coordinated, comprehensive national action plan to address violence against women.
