Yes. Very briefly, this is a concern of mine that comes from my background in front-line services, working with survivors. It's an issue I continue to hear about in my role as ombudsman. Survivors don't feel there's an adequate criminal law response when they come forward to police. They feel they cannot get assistance, that the person cannot be charged for the serious psychological, emotional and financial violence they are suffering, and that the system doesn't view this as violence, this coercive and controlling behaviour.
I see it as a real gap that still needs to be addressed in Canada.
