Mr. Speaker, time is not on the victims' side right now, so hopefully we hurry up. Because of the Supreme Court ruling allowing the defence of extreme intoxication, women have shared their fears about coming forward to local agencies and advocates. We are hearing from young women who are concerned about this decision and asking if this is really possible. It is. There needs to be action. There need to be resolutions. Victims' voices have been lost. When will the Prime Minister do something about it and fix this?

Mr. Speaker, two days ago the Justice Arbour report came out and the Liberals are already failing to take it seriously. Today's news that the government will bring back Canada's top military police officer, despite his being asked to apologize for his mishandling of a sexual assault case, is appalling. We have heard over and over again that there needs to be a culture change in Canada's armed forces. This is not it. For seven years, the Prime Minister has protected toxic men in positions of power. When will the “feminist” Prime Minister finally do what is right for women?

Madam Speaker, we have a lot to learn from our allies, and the member rightly mentioned their processes and their firm commitment to gender equality and empowering women. Even when a delegation came from Sweden recently, they spoke about these things. There is a lot we can do together, collectively, as two like-minded countries. That is why it is important that we continue to support their application.
