Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much for your reply, Ms. Peterson. You are right, it is a broader issue. That is my exact point. I think, as a Member of the Standing Committee on Finance, I pushed this government to place a program for male offenders. We have nothing in place, within this government, to help out part of the problem in this society. We have good programs for women; we have shelters. I also know that sometimes the domestic problems arise because of the women. By that, I mean that, when a woman has experienced a sexual assault in her past, prior to entering into her present relationship, this sometimes leads to the husband being violent because of what she has experienced in the past. It is not because the husband is violent. I think this is the wide and complex issue which this government should to addressing. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
