Status of Women committee  We don't have a specific crime prevention program for on-campus kinds of behaviours, whether that's date raping or the rape culture.

Status of Women committee  Thank you for the question. I have a couple of comments on your point. We do have a lot of conversations about at what levels we influence and how we actually bring these in at the grassroots level and at a very young age.

Status of Women committee  What we look at is anything from Twitter accounts to Snapchat—the kinds of things kids are using on social media—to identify when their behaviour is crossing a line, to make them aware that saying something, the kind of language they use, the kind of behaviour they use, for examp

Status of Women committee  Perhaps I could add to that. The other thing we look at, too, is working across departments. We would work with Immigration Canada, as an example, in terms of some of the programs it has at the front-line level for working with new immigrant women coming to Canada. There's also a
