However, I do believe that the outreach campaigns and the public outreach that we have undertaken as a federal interdepartmental working group but also with our provincial colleagues and the profile that the issue has received over the last few years have led to a heightened level of awareness, and therefore hopefully a heightened level of reporting, which would suggest or lead one to believe that there are more crimes being committed.
Cependant, je crois que, grâce aux campagnes d'information menées par le groupe de travail de notre ministère fédéral ainsi que par nos collègues des provinces et compte tenu du grand intérêt que suscite ce dossier depuis quelques années, les gens sont davantage sensibilisés, ce qui fait qu'un plus grand nombre de cas sont désormais signalés.
