Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being with us today.
I want to start with a question for CanAge. I first want to thank you for bringing up the parallel of coercive and controlling behaviour. As I'm sure the witnesses are aware, it's a subject very dear to my heart.
What we heard in testimony on that was that domestic violence legislation often was too incident-focused and too focused on the most severe incidents for it to be used effectively against domestic violence. I'm assuming that's the point you're making here.
Is there something lacking when it comes to patterns of neglect that we're trying to get at here through an amendment to the Criminal Code?
