$77.5 Million to study?  Not saying gender-based violence is not a terrible thing, but what was the basis for justifying this study in terms of direct benefits (reduced violence)?  If data is insufficient to understand the problem (likely) should it really cost $77.5 M?  

Or is this Monsef trying to make up for an abysmal performance on the electoral reform file, or Gerry and Katie making sure more of their buddies get a trip to the taxpayer trough?
