Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the second report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, entitled “Gender-Based Violence and Femicides in Canada”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
Femicides are up; a woman in Canada dies every other day. We do need to address this national crisis, and the recommendations would go a long way to helping that.
