Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her advocacy for women and LGBTQ2 folks here at home and around the world.
The budget includes more than $3 billion to address and prevent gender-based violence in all of its forms. We have the partnerships across the country to move forward.
Consider the Rowan House Society in Alberta. With a grant from our government, it has created a shelter for men who have harmed the women in their lives. Men leave the home, so women and children do not have to. Through this voluntary program, men learn to accept responsibility for their behaviour and build healthier relationships.
Increased investments for women's organizations and additional funds to engage men and boys will save lives.
