I have just one thing to add to what Ms. McCarthy said.
We have to do two days of family violence—I'll use your language—in the legislation training. That's the initial one. Then every two years we have to go back for a full day. Actually, I think it's about 10 hours, which anyone who is in the practice of mediation or arbitration tends to do in one full day. That's an additional thing you should consider.
As Ms. McCarthy says, in the screening process of intake, if you don't talk about what's going on in the home.... That's usually how you introduce it. People are embarrassed. They don't want to talk about family violence, whether it be a push or a shove. Not to minimize it, but sometimes it's a heated moment that both parties, if you really reflected on it, would never have imagined themselves in. Then there are the extremes—murders, terrible things that can happen.
We all just do it if we're good at it and trained well at what we do. Should we be trained more deeply? Possibly, but I think that's more in the provincial realm of the training of lawyers and understanding our responsibilities. I'm not sure it needs more in the formal legislative function, other than when you talk about mediation, or alternative dispute resolution, which is how you refer to it in the legislation. That's when the screening certainly has to happen, so the recipient and the person who is going to be doing it have the information to either create a safety plan, as Ms. McCarthy said, or to maybe ask, “Is this really right? Should we do it?”
