A bill to expand state punishment of various crimes, especially 'coercive control' and other nonviolent offenses against women. In discussion, the new Liberal MP advocated at length for her bill, while a Conservative mentioned fentanyl deaths. The Liberals agreed and also plugged other 'public safety' efforts.
“You're new and you're doing a good job here. We are making a rule against coercive control to help stop violence against women.”
“I want to sound tough on crime without upsetting people who want to go easy on drugs. I want everyone to work with me to make our policies popular.”
