(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to ask a short question in regard to women who go to shelters. Sometimes they bring many of their children to some of these shelters. I heard once there was a woman who left for a shelter just because she wanted to leave her husband. It seemed like when she wanted to go back home, she was able to return home at her own discretion. It seems to me that the men should be the ones taken out of the community, and I think that this way, the government would be saving money if they can remove the man out of the community instead of the woman. I feel that the social workers should be more open to this idea. How has this situation been improved within the department? I feel that the man should be removed out of the community instead of the woman because sometimes a woman may have more than one child. So, I am going to ask the Minister how he can deal with this situation as a Minister? Thank you. (Translation ends)
