Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her advocacy on behalf of women and girls in her communities and across Canada.
Status of Women Canada is committed to empowering organizations across the country to empower women and girls in their communities, and to include men and boys. That is why last year we funded about 300 projects across the country to do that work.
We will be introducing a gender-based violence strategy, the first federal strategy of its kind, to address the challenges that too many women and girls in our communities face.
