Justice
A bill to change various criminal laws, mostly focused on crimes against women and children. It would create new crimes like 'coercive control' of intimate partners, make it easier to prove criminal harassment, criminalize sex with animals, crack down on child sex crimes, weaken mandatory minimum sentences, and extend deadlines for prosecuting child sex abuse. In Parliament, a Liberal MP gave a short speech supporting the bill in vague terms, saying safety is a fundamental right.
