Madam Chair, I want to thank everybody participating tonight in a historic and vitally important debate. It is the first time the House of Commons is having a take-note debate on the issue of gender-based violence.
I know there has been a lot of mention of control, but we also know there is economic abuse. When women are being controlled financially, that can happen with or without violence, but it is absolutely a contributing factor to domestic violence. I wonder if my colleague could talk a bit about the intersection of financial abuse, economic abuse and domestic violence.
