Certainly. Thank you.
This motion is in relation to subsection 62.1(1) of the Judges Act, which encourages the CJC to report on certain seminars. Currently the bill would expand that report to include seminars on intimate partner violence and coercive control.
My understanding of this motion is that it would mirror the changes made to another section of the Judges Act in amendment LIB-3. It would change the order in which the topics are referred to. It would read, “sexual assault law” and then it would say, “intimate partner violence and coercive control” rather than adding those two at the end of the clause.
It would also specify, as in amendment LIB-2, that coercive control is “coercive control in intimate partner and family relationships”.
