Thank you, Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses.
I don't know, Ms. Gill or Ms. Silverstone, if you've done any research on this, but I've spoken to three women in prison, all of whom had arrived in prison for drug trafficking because of coercive control. Emily O'Brien locally here, who's now out, had travelled with her partner. He seized her passport—he had been threatening her throughout their relationship—and forced her to bring back drugs in return for getting her passport back and being able to see her family again. She served time because of mandatory minimums. I met women at the Edmonton Institution for Women who were in exactly the same boat. I'm wondering how often you see women who end up in prison themselves because of coercive control from their partner.
Professor Gill, perhaps you can start. I see you shaking your head.
