I think there's a difference between being a victim and having support around that victimhood as opposed to the context of what you're experiencing and who is part of that experience. What this bill is doing is providing support for the victims specifically, and then leveraging who can provide experience for outlining what the individual Criminal Code violations are. There needs to be a distinction between the two.
That's why I think there needs to be a little more thought and perhaps a broader consultation around who else can be part of the coercive control family, if you will.
