Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to start by thanking both our witnesses for their previous appearances and for the help they gave us in preparing the original report this committee did two years ago on coercive control. It's not just today, but these two witnesses have been very valuable to the committee all along. My thanks to them for being with us again today on short notice.
I want to give Ms. Silverstone a chance to talk about the changes she thinks should be made to the bill through amendments, which Mr. Housefather had led up to. Let me start with that.
