Justice

During Statements by Members, the House discussed Bill C-16, the Protecting Victims Act. Amandeep Sodhi, a Liberal member, spoke in support of the bill, saying it would make coercive or controlling conduct toward an intimate partner a criminal offence and classify the killing of an intimate partner as first-degree murder. She argued the bill would give the justice system tools to intervene before domestic violence escalates and said the House should pass it.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
