Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you so much to the witnesses for being here today on our study of coercive control at the status of women committee. I see many familiar faces here. It's great to see some of you. I know this is a very tough topic. Thank you to those of you who have been here before and are testifying again.

Deputy Chief Milinovich, the testimony you provided here today was pretty shocking—9,500 IPV calls for Peel Regional Police, and 26 choking incidents every single day. Among these women being choked—they're primarily women—how many of the men choking them are out on bail?
