Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, within the legislation there is something we should all be taking a great sense of pride in, which is the fact that we would incorporate coercive behaviour into a new offence. That is relatively unique in terms of G20 countries. The bill would also raise femicide to first‑degree murder. I think there are a lot of positive things within the legislation. I am wondering if the member could expand on why she believes that the principles of the legislation are positive and worth moving forward on.”
