Madam Speaker, it is interesting that the member opposite speaks about a high-cost trip. Let us speak about the Conservatives travelling to the U.K. to sip on champagne and eat oysters. That trip, for one Conservative member, was actually paid for by the Danube Institute, which has regularly advocated against Ukraine in support of Russia. Lo and behold, Conservatives come back and vote against the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement. When it comes to the champagne Conservatives, they are not worth the cost to Canadians or Ukrainians.

Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Kitchener South—Hespeler for speaking up for women everywhere. We take the issue of gender-based violence very seriously and have implemented more supports for victims, for survivors and their families, supports for violence prevention and a more responsive justice system, and indigenous-led approaches to challenges faced by indigenous women and girls. We have brought forward responsible firearms safety measures, including red- and yellow-flag gun laws. We know there is more to do, but we are committed to making sure we end gender-based violence.
