Thank you, Chair.
I hold a bit different view. The definition as it is in the bill is still quite broad. Although it's important to address it and necessary to acknowledge that this type of violence exists, I don't think codifying it by including language such as this is the right approach.
As “family violence” is determined on a case-by-case basis in the courts, the application of these kinds of threats should also be made on a case-by-case basis. My fear is that by adding this type of language, we're actually narrowing the scope of what “family violence” could mean, so I will not be supporting this.
