We have an advisory committee that we're ready to re-engage, service providers across the country who are keenly interested in this issue and a number of women's organizations and groups that are very interested in monitoring this outcome. We'll look to stay on top of how it's being used in the courts. Our office will monitor that as well. We hope to come back to the committee with an evaluation of how it's being used.
I think it's really important to understand that the perceptions of legislation are what people act on. In abusive relationships where there's coercive and controlling behaviour, any misperceptions around the way that this can be used....You can have an abuser trying to convince a victim that it can't be reported because they were intoxicated.
I think clarity is really important, and we'll try to promote clear messaging on this to the best of our ability.
