Status of Women committee  Collecting data in a systematic and consistent way is a very big job, administratively speaking. With their limited resources, transition homes, or shelters, can't exactly afford the IT systems necessary to collect data. In my view, aggregate surveys, when supplemented by the Nat

Status of Women committee  These incidents are violence reported to the police and collected through the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. They basically follow the trend of increasing east-to-west general crime rates, which are always higher in the west and in the territories—much higher in the territories.

Status of Women committee  The Uniform Crime Reporting Survey is not in redesign as a source for depicting those trends of increasing crime rates from east to west. The reasons can be explained by the demographics, basically, and this is what we have seen. It is well-established trends or differentials b

Status of Women committee  It is contextual information, and you are right. Those beds can serve—

Status of Women committee  That's a very good question. The reason it was stopped in 2014, first of all, is it was a survey conducted every two years. The year before that was 2012, and now it was 2014. There were some methodological issues with the survey at the time, so it was decided to take the next

Status of Women committee  I think to address the dimension of what you were raising about those not always seeking services from a shelter, I believe that the survey of safety and private and public space will bring us insight or more information about those who have not sought services from shelters, but

In my speaking notes, I pointed out that, despite the larger increases in certain provinces, including in the Maritimes and Quebec, the levels remain higher in the territories and western provinces,

Status of Women committee  As we said at the conclusion of our presentation, we're going to have information from two different sources coming out in 2019—the new redesigned aggregate survey on shelters and the survey on safety in public and private spaces.

It is possible to establish differences in the modus operandi used in domestic violence from an urban versus rural standpoint. One of the things we look at is whether the domestic violence involves handguns, knives or fists,

Status of Women committee  I would be happy to, Mr. Serré. You're asking about the transition home survey, which is a type of survey in which the data are aggregated. I won't go into the details, but suffice it to say it's a survey we conducted every two years up until 2014. At that point, we felt the nee

Status of Women committee  With police data, it would be possible to compare the situation in urban and rural areas.

Status of Women committee  It's not part of this deck, but we could provide it for another meeting, as needed.

Status of Women committee  Yes, of course.
