Some critics of Quebec's plan to combat sexual violence aren't sure if it'll make a difference, adding it's vague, others say at least there's help on the way.
Officials with women's groups spoke out after the government announcement.
Nathalie Khlat of Beacon of the Free said the anouncement lacks "a schedule of actions, a clear plan of what's going to be next. What's going to happen next?", she told CTV.
Elian Legault-Roy of La Cles, however, is pleased her group, along with other such groups, which help women free themselves from the grips of prostitution, are getting government help.
"We were exhausted of waiting so basically we're really happy just to have it now," she said.
PQ leader Jean-Francois Lisee said the Quebec government's plan is a step in the right direction, but added the government fell behind on the matter for ore than two years.
He added when the Liberals were brought to power in 2014, they eliminated some measures already in place and lost valuable time in the battle against sexual assaults.
"They did everything in reverse, so they lost two and a half years. That’s two and a half years where pimps and sexual violence had a free pass because of them, so I say at last. At last they do something now,” he said.
Manon Massé of Quebec Solidaire described the amount announced by the government as very small considering it announced a $2.2 billion surplus this week in its annual budget.
