Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I thanked the witnesses for taking part in this important additional meeting as part of our study on coercive control.
I would reiterate that the idea for the study came from a request by Quebec government MNAs who tabled the rebuilding trust report and who met with experts in various social and legal spheres. That report led to the adoption of major recommendations in Quebec, such as special courts and electronic bracelets. However, one element does not fall under Quebec jurisdiction and that's the criminalization of coercive control.
Ms. Heslop, here is my question.
In your opening remarks, you mentioned a bill. Were you referring to Bill C-332, which is currently being studied by the Senate and which seeks to criminalize coercive control?
