"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7628329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, this is an excellent question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628330\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my experience, one of the reasons why people go back to their abuser is economics. That is what it is. The partner was the person who brought home most of the money, or they simply cannot afford to live apart in two residences. What does that do? It brings two people together, back into what was an otherwise toxic relationship.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628331\" data-originallang=\"en\">I could not agree more. There need to be more services for people, particularly women, particularly marginalized and indigenous women who are themselves the victims of intimate partner violence. Far too often we see, to borrow the member's term, an ecosystem set up that does not prevent future offences but actually fosters future offences because the two parties invariably get back together, whether it be for emotional reasons, economic reasons or geography. That is something we need to address. I thank the member for raising that very salient point.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7628329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est une excellente question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628330\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s mon exp\u00e9rience, si quelqu'un retourne aupr\u00e8s de son agresseur, c'est notamment pour des raisons d'ordre financier. C'est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Le partenaire gagnait l'essentiel du revenu du m\u00e9nage, ou encore la victime ne peut tout simplement pas se permettre de vivre s\u00e9par\u00e9ment, dans une r\u00e9sidence distincte. Quel est le r\u00e9sultat? Cela r\u00e9tablit entre deux personnes une relation qui, par ailleurs, \u00e9tait toxique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628331\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis tout \u00e0 fait d'accord: il faut davantage de services pour les personnes, en particulier les femmes, surtout les femmes marginalis\u00e9es ou autochtones, qui sont elles-m\u00eames victimes de la violence de leur partenaire intime. Bien trop souvent, nous voyons, pour reprendre l'expression du d\u00e9put\u00e9, se cr\u00e9er un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me qui favorise les infractions futures au lieu de les pr\u00e9venir, car les deux parties se remettent invariablement ensemble, que ce soit pour des raisons \u00e9motionnelles, financi\u00e8res ou g\u00e9ographiques. C'est un probl\u00e8me que nous devons r\u00e9soudre. Je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'avoir soulev\u00e9 ce point tr\u00e8s important.</p>"
