I will try to be a bit more concise.

As far as the principle that no one should be able to benefit from a crime they have committed is concerned, the NDP strongly supports the bill. We want to underscore an important caveat, however: the bill does not include manslaughter, as you indicated in your remarks.

You mentioned the importance of a gendered lens, stating that 77% of victims were female. What percentage of those cases involved manslaughter?
