Thank you, Madam Chair.
I first have to express my disappointment that we did not get to hear the remainder of the testimony from witnesses. It flags my concern that we have all-party agreement on coercive and controlling behaviour and we tried to finish expeditiously with our hearings and any amendments and get it through the House. This does not bode well for that. That is disappointing.
On the proposed amendment, with the amendment suggested by Mr. Maloney, I can support this motion. I think Mr. Maloney put it very well, and I'm trying not to say the name. I appreciate Ms. Findlay reading out the names of the victims. I think that is much more important.
My problem with the motion as it stood originally was that there are other ways. If we are serious about dealing with the problems that the Conservatives have identified, then a study in the public safety committee, which is responsible for the corrections act, is a way that could move forward with concrete suggestions. As this stands, this simply makes it a public debate and a retraumatization without providing any solutions. If this were being referred to as a study to look for solutions to those problems, we could have that debate. The public safety committee is probably a better place.
With those amendments, I could support this motion today.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
