Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their testimony, which is very relevant to our study.
My first question is for Ms. Greenwood or Mr. Lanouette and will be on the definition of “abuse”. There is the Criminal Code, but also all sorts of circumstances where one's hands can be tied.
Can you talk more about this and what the federal government can do about it?
And then can you tell us how this relates to the cultural issue and minority groups so that we can improve our report?
