Mr. Speaker, half of all women in this country will experience physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives.
Whether in their homes, on campus or in the workplace, women have to live with the threat of harassment and violence. A number of labour organizations, including the Canadian Labour Congress, are calling for a plan and immediate action such as an awareness campaign and better long-term funding for women's organizations.
Instead of launching endless consultations, when will the Prime Minister finally take action to put an end to violence against women?
