House of Commons Committee Invites the Public to Submit Written Briefs for its Study on Women’s Shelters and Transitional Housing
Ottawa, May 26, 2026 -
The House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women is undertaking a study on women’s shelters and transitional housing, including access to safe and stable housing for women experiencing gender-based violence; the links between housing insecurity, poverty, and gender-based violence; and the capacity and accessibility of women’s shelters and transitional housing across Canada to support vulnerable women and those fleeing violence. The study follows a motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
The committee invites the public to contribute to the study by submitting written briefs.
Protecting the privacy of those who submit briefs remains a priority for the committee. If you wish to submit a written brief anonymously or do not want a brief to be made public, please inform the Clerk of the committee at FEWO@parl.gc.ca. Written briefs will be publicly available unless otherwise requested.
The deadline for the committee to receive written briefs from the public, in either official language, is at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, June 12, 2026. Briefs should not exceed two pages (approximately 1,000 words) and should be emailed to the Clerk of the committee at FEWO@parl.gc.ca or submitted online through the committee’s study webpage. For more information on how to prepare a submission, please consult the Guide for submitting briefs to House of Commons Committees.
The committee looks forward to hearing from Canadians on this important topic. The committee welcomes all Canadians to follow its work on its website, where additional information is provided on the committee’s meetings and testimony, live proceedings and membership.
