Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech and his responses to many questions from across the political spectrum. We can change the laws all we want, but we need to have the mechanisms and institutions available to support women and children, in particular, who are caught in situations of intimate violence. I am thinking of women's shelters. In Alberta, in my riding, we had the first women's shelter built since 1984. Without these critical resources coinciding with changes in laws, I do not think we are going to see a reduction in intimate partner violence. I wonder if the member could give me his thoughts on the importance of building an ecosystem that fights intimate partner violence in this country.
