I am very pleased to welcome Angela Huang and Mariana Batista, who are here with Western University Students’ Council’s Women In House. They’re in town for a conference, and they will be keeping me company all day. Thank you, ladies.

I think this is a great question. When I went to Renfrew county to see the reveal, it was very clear that femicide doesn’t just hurt those families, it hurts a whole community.

Mr. Speaker, we are taking action. On February 10, the government did provide only part 1 of Ontario’s response to the Office of the Chief Coroner, and that reflects the progress we’re making so far. Across government, we are taking action to make sure women are kept safe. We are investing in programs and organizations, like some of the many who came here today, to see that women are given the freedom and the opportunity to be free and live in their communities, like our investments in the Investing in Women’s Futures Program, like our investments in just so many others. Mr. Speaker, we take this very seriously. We believe women should be safe, and we did send the national action plan to the FPT for the justice ministers, with a written request that they commit to taking further action to improve the justice system responses—
