No, Madam Speaker, I haven't gone through these reports, but I do know that they are out. I have seen a brief summary that outlines the main points much the same way that the Member just laid out. The statistics for the Northwest Territories are ones that always jump out at everybody. It simply reinforces what has been said by women and the organizations representing women, for many years, that there is a tremendous amount of violence in the north against women. It is just starting to be reported in recent times. My view is that it's not all reported yet. That the incidence will continue to climb. It does not mean that the violence down south is less than in the north, it may only mean that it's suppressed just as much, maybe more, than it is in the north. The statistics do jump out at us. Thank you.
