Status of Women committee  If I hear you well, basically what you're saying is that you can offer a temporary shelter, but the women in crisis return to hell.

Status of Women committee  Okay. That's quite clear, but not pleasant to hear. You mentioned that there could be three more shelters, one per region, in the three territories. Still, that transition bugs me. There has to be an exit. It seems like a cycle here; you just go back into it. It seems quite prob

Status of Women committee  Okay, thank you. Basically, you have to make violence not socially acceptable in communities. Is that what you're suggesting?

Status of Women committee  Thank you. Thank you very much for your testimony, Ms. Fuller. I must say that this is troubling.

Status of Women committee  I heard that, typically, the shelter could be used up to seven or eight times. Is that the case for you too? They're always going to be fine or everything will be all right, and it's not. How do you get through?

Status of Women committee  Even though this need to belong destroys your life, you will seek it because this is your only link.

Status of Women committee  Ms. LeBlanc, you mentioned...

Status of Women committee  I love hearing from them. Thank you.

Status of Women committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. This is really fascinating. I live in Lévis, across from Quebec City, and one of the first organizations to come to meet with me was La Jonction pour Elle. I told the representatives that their organization was interesting, and asked where they were loca
