Discussion · Government Orders
Larry Brock Conservative
“This bill should have done more to fix peace bonds. Stronger peace bonds would protect women who need help. The government says it cares about victims, but its actions show it does not.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely correct. I did participate in one committee meeting at the status of women committee, where we were discussing the ineffectiveness and the tragic consequences of the enforcement of section 810 common law bonds. It is unfortunate that the whole concept of section 810 consideration did not find itself within the confines of Bill C-16. This would have been a glorious opportunity for the Liberal government to strengthen section 810 orders to protect women who have no recourse other than to ask for that type of protection. Again, the government claims to be tough on crime and claims to be very cognizant of victims’ rights. Its actions speak to the opposite.”
