Kristina Tesser Derksen Liberal
“I am a lawyer who has worked with victims of partner violence. MPs try to fix bills in good faith, but the opposition will not always get the changes they want.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am not a member of the committee at which this was studied. However, I am a lawyer, and I have worked in the space of intimate partner violence and violence against women, so the perspective I bring is my own. As far as working through amendments and committees, this is something that I believe every elected member of Parliament wants to do in good faith at all times. That does not necessarily mean that colleagues across the aisle will get the result they want every time.”
