Yes, I think Canadian society has a fairly high level of family violence, which about one in five children witnesses. What the best interests criteria do is make sure that decision-makers are looking at those criteria.
You have illustrated perfectly what I was trying to express earlier, that young people need support when they are expressing their views. If they are speaking about traumatic situations or experiences of violence, maybe a lawyer is there to represent their interests as a party—and they are a party in the proceedings—but having child-specific workers to support them through a process of giving voice can be really important as well.
