Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, similar to previous NDP amendments, this would extend protections in legal proceedings to all those victimized by their intimate partners, and not restrict protections to a limited number of offences. In echoing the recommendations of the National Association of Women and the Law, New Democrats are committed to ensuring that survivors of all forms of intimate partner abuse are protected while testifying in court. We urge all parties to vote in favour of this amendment to ensure these protections are in place.
