I'll begin by saying that no law is perfect. All this law would be is another tool in the tool box of the justice system in Canada to address issues of domestic abuse in our society.
I think it is imperative that we pass a law like this as soon as possible. I believe that training can happen at the same time that the law is being passed, and I think police and the justice system are already asking for this. They mostly don't need to be trained about coercive control. They might just need to be trained on how to use a law like this.
We are overdue. We are behind other jurisdictions that have gender-based violence plans. I think victims in Canada deserve this piece of legislation.
