Sean Fraser Liberal
“I have read this bill. The member and I worked together across party lines to rewrite it. We worked with Bailey McCourt's family to protect future victims of partner violence. I liked how we worked together, and it is a shame that teamwork has ended.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member questions whether I read his bill. He should know very well that I have, because we worked together across partisan lines to rewrite that bill. He should know that we worked together with family members in the tragic circumstances of Bailey McCourt’s murder to ensure that she did not die in vain, and to change the law in this country to protect future victims of intimate partner violence and murder against harms we know are preventable. I appreciated the member’s non-partisan spirit of collaboration. It is a shame that it seems to have come to an end.”
