“This bill includes recommendations from victims and the women's committee, like making coercive control a crime. Did the member talk about these ideas with his party?”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I know that he has taken an interest in the issue of women’s safety. He even participated in a few meetings of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Bill C‑16 incorporates many of the recommendations made by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. These recommendations are based on requests from survivors and victims, particularly with regard to court delays and the criminalization of coercive control. The Standing Committee on the Status of Women made these recommendations and they have been incorporated into Bill C‑16. Did he discuss this with his Conservative colleagues?”
