Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the member opposite to the House.
She mentioned violence against women and gender-based violence as an issue. As the former chair of the status of women, in 2016 we authored a report with 45 recommendations for the government to be able to eliminate gender-based violence in Canada, so it is disturbing to me that in the throne speech Liberals are still talking about coming with a plan and there is still no funding attached to it, after six years.
Could the member indicate why the government is taking so long to do something that is so important?
