Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate): Thank you for your question, colleague. I’m still waiting for a response from the government on this.

Allow me to correct you, however. It is false to say that the government has done nothing on this file since coming to power. On the contrary, the government has allocated $100 million to women’s shelters, centres for victims of sexual assault, and other support organizations for victims of gender-based violence across Canada. Budget 2021 sets out an additional $200 million to support organizations that combat gender-based violence.
