Currently, almost no Canadian universities have adequate policies, and many have none at all.

Quebec just announced it will spend $23 million over 5 years to support post-secondary institutions develop and implement sexual violence prevention policies -- and we need Manitoba to do the same. [3] Without funding, programs will not be able to be thoroughly implemented.
