Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
First of all, Ms. Lemeltier and Ms. Pontel, thank you for your testimony. I will give you the last word, as there is less than a minute left.
According to Statistics Canada, nearly half of women who experienced intimate partner violence, 43%, reported feeling controlled or trapped by their intimate partner.
In conclusion, isn't this a sign that something needs to be done about this issue, especially since these types of coercive control are often precursors to physical violence?
