Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to attempt to answer Mr. Lewis' questions. Basically, as we travelled, there were many concerns with respect to family violence and there were many concerns and comments with regard to violence in itself. There were many expressions of what was acceptable to society with respect to violence and what should not be acceptable or tolerated. The concern that the public had was regardless of what type of violence we have out there, regardless of who it is against, whether it's elders, children, women, the disabled or any individual in society, that any form of violence should not be tolerated. Zero tolerance basically means that no violence should be tolerated in any way, shape or form, to put it quite clearly.
Mr. Chairman, it seems that there's some concern in the public that some types of violence are acceptable in some parts of society, or some places in society. Basically the public is saying that we have to make every effort to state to the public that no type of violence should be tolerated and that it should not be acceptable at all in our society. This is why we've recognized that the government has made some effort to deal with violence. We've recognized they've made an effort through providing shelters and to providing homes.
If you go across the territories, only some communities have safe shelters in the territories. When you look at stating that this type of thing should not be acceptable, we're basically saying that we agree, no type of violence towards any individual in society should be tolerated. Therefore, the government has to strive to develop a zero tolerance level of violence and it must be adopted and publicized and made every effort to get that message out to the public through their forms of programs and through their methods of communications. They have to let people in the territories know that they're serious in not tolerating any violence. Thank you.
