Thank you so much. I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I want to fully disclose that I totally believe that coercive control exists. I think it's a very misunderstood violence, and the onus is often placed on the victim to prove that it's occurring.
I really appreciate what you said, Madame Zaccour, and everything you said, I agreed with. I think it's made difficult by the way that victims of violence often minimize the violence. We know this through stats. We know which groups are more represented in violence, and there's still a lot of discrimination in the courts. I would say Black, indigenous and people of colour.... Something needs to happen about violence. We need to deal with this violence.
I asked in the last round about coercive control specifically. I want to actually go back to parental alienation. Do you think that having a bill about coercive control without first dealing with this non-scientific reality, often used primarily against women on parental alienation, places them more at risk?
