Mr. Speaker, intimate partner violence needs to end, and it needs to end now. This matters to everyone because intimate partner violence destroys families and causes serious harm in our society. I salute community organizations for the important work they do to help women and children fleeing violence perpetrated by violent partners. I announced a $4.5-million investment to help an organization called Nouvelle-Étape create new spaces. Could the Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion tell us more about the reason for these investments?

Mr. Speaker, I just now observed my good friend and colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands trying to get through a question in this House and the amount of heckling that came from this side is completely unacceptable. We have had huge challenges in attracting women, not just to run for politics but to actually stay in politics. I want to remind men in this House of the important role they play when it comes to their conduct in any violence against women and attacks on women in this place. What I just heard happen is unacceptable.
