Mr. Speaker, we will not take any lessons from the party opposite when it comes to fighting for equality in the country. The Conservatives were against $10-a-day child care. These are the cuts that they want to make. They want to ensure and they support back door legislation that actually would ban abortions and take away women's right to choose, or there is the fact that their leader uses misogynistic hashtags in videos to attract men who hate women. We will not take any lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to ensuring that we support women in the country.

Madam Speaker, I am on the veterans affairs committee with the member. I was one of the lead people who put forward the study on women veterans. A focused study on women veterans had never been done in Parliament before. One of the things we heard from those women was that because they were serving federally and moving from one province to another, sometimes where the incident happened was not where they were moved to, so cases got dropped. We need to figure this out in the civilian world so that does not happen. I am wondering if the member is going to work seriously in this committee. I hope to see the committee move rapidly, because it is a big issue that needs to be addressed immediately. I hope the Conservatives will be dealing with real issues that matter to women veterans and, of course, not playing the games the Conservatives like to play.

Madam Speaker, I believe the NDP member when she says that the survivors feel that the bill was not thought through well enough, because nothing that has been done by the government has been thought through well enough, or it has been thought through well enough with the bad intention of covering up, which is what we saw in the status of women committee. I stand with the NDP member in her concern for the survivors, and I hope the government will take them seriously and start to take actions that show not only that their intentions are better but also that they are making true efforts to stand behind what they are saying.
