Mr. Speaker, I too am proud and pleased to support this motion. Zero tolerance is an achievable goal. In spite of all the good work that is being done by others, including the Status of Women, the Women's shelters and so on. This goal of zero tolerance will only be realized if all of us as leaders, and I include us, municipal leaders, aboriginal leaders, private sector leaders, if we all lead by example. Our commitment cannot end with comments here today. We cannot stop here. There has to be consequences to violating our commitment, and we need to be public and we need to be clear about what those consequences are. There are no excuses for violence. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
