Madam Chair, it warms my heart to see you here with us this evening.
I congratulate my colleague from Shefford not only on giving an excellent speech, but also on sharing her heartfelt and urgent concerns.
I have a question for her. In my experience, because I like to make connections to real life, I have observed that women in violent situations hesitate to go to shelters, to file a complaint with the police or to report what is happening, for fear of abuse.
What kind of funding and resources could the government give these homes to help women truly feel safe?
