“I want the Conservatives to vote for this bill. It will protect victims of domestic violence and make coercive control a crime.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague did a beautiful job of painting the picture of what is really going on here. I would like to take a moment to speak as a survivor of domestic violence and how critically important this legislation is. It is hard to truly put into words how challenging it is to navigate a justice system after having been a victim of crime. This bill would address that. It would address coercive control, which is incredibly important. It is very hard to understand what it is like for victims of intimate partner violence and what they go through for years on end. This bill would address that. I would like for the Conservatives to understand, get out of the way, as they like to say, support this bill for victims and show survivors that we are listening.”
