Justice
During question period on justice, members discussed the government’s Protecting Victims Act, Bill C-16. A Liberal member asked how the bill would protect victims of intimate partner violence and urged quick passage, saying survivors have called on the justice system to act earlier. The parliamentary secretary responded that the bill would criminalize coercive and controlling conduct toward a partner before it escalates, and would also address sexual exploitation, including depictions made with computer-generated images. She asked all members to support passing the bill quickly.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
