Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill for her question.
Our government is deeply committed to gender equality and combatting gender-based violence. The former Conservative government ignored women's rights groups, it ignored experts, and it ignored immigrant women's groups, which denounced the conditional permanent residency as a wrongheaded policy that trapped vulnerable women in abusive relationships. No survivor should ever feel afraid to come forward.
That is why I am proud that on this side of the House we have fully eliminated conditional permanent residency.
