Good afternoon, everyone.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today.
I would like to come back to some procedural questions that I had for the representatives from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
Chief Lanouette, Chief Greenwood, where do you think the offence of coercive or controlling conduct would fit into the full spectrum of domestic violence offences, such as assault, harassment, threats, and conspiracy?
As I understand it, it would be ongoing behaviour, but I would like more details on that.
Second, on what principle would a police officer coming into an individual's home be able to determine that this is truly controlling or coercive conduct?
