Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for their important testimony and the work they are doing for all women.
My first question is for Ms. Deepa Mattoo.
Ms. Mattoo, I know we had a conversation before and you have appeared in the committee before. I know the work you are doing in the GTA.
An important component of this study is the experience of other jurisdictions in dealing with coercive behaviour. Scotland and the United Kingdom have already criminalized coercive control. We also know about the experience of Hawaii, where coercive control is in the definition of domestic abuse.
Do you think we should follow that path? What are your views on that?
