Mr. Speaker, on December 6, 1989, time stood still.
Our society still bears the scars of this mass femicide, 36 years later.
As a government, there is no doubt that we need to invest in the fight to end gender-based violence.
Certainly, one of the tools is to strengthen the Criminal Code, which we are working on. Prevention is another.
Through Canada's national action plan on women, peace and security, we have invested up to $500 million, and we will continue to do so.
The dignity and safety of women in this country are a priority.
