Thanks very much, Ms. Damoff.
I don't think anybody disagrees with the fact that a law of this nature is vital and necessary, but it's the application that I'm struggling with.
Mr. Moore, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Fortin and others have touched on this. Professor Gill, you described it as an abstraction.
Ms. Illingworth, you said the application is more challenging, and I agree with that. What you're doing is criminalizing behaviour that individually may not be criminal while collectively it is. That puts a great burden on a police officer who's called into a situation and asked to investigate a complaint by a spouse for behaviour that, on its own, may seem sort of innocuous. I think this is what Mr. Fortin was getting at earlier.
Professor Gill, in your paper, you set out what the Home Office statutory guidance framework is. You can easily pick three or four things off of that list that, on their own, don't seem troubling, but collectively they are.
Maybe my question is for you, Ms. Silverstone, because I know you're in the business of training and working with groups. Do you feel confident that you could sit down with a group of judges, a group of police officers or any other group to train them in how they can apply this law so that you don't have difficulties at the expense of victims?
