I think it's critical that we have a broad enough definition that we are acknowledging the impact of intimate partner violence and coercive control on victims and not excluding some of the ways in which that impacts them. This will be developed in case law. If we narrow that definition, we run the risk of excluding instances of coercive control and patterns of coercive control, and we risk leaving out some victims from the definition.
