Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, too often the victims of domestic violence have to move away from their own communities in order to find shelter and to resume their lives. Even if they return home, they have great difficulty in picking up the pieces and starting over. The removal of women and children from their communities by the Department of Social Services should only be a last resort. The government should adopt a policy of helping victims remain in their own communities whenever possible. Local assistance should be provided to these people in such areas as housing, education and job training. This will help them to assume greater responsibility and control over their lives as part of their healing process.

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that every effort should be made to assist victims of domestic violence to rebuild their lives in their own communities.

Thank you. The motion is in order. To the motion.
