Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to present two petitions on behalf of the Kalmring family and many constituents in my riding of Okanagan—Coquihalla.
Lynn Kalmring was a loving mother, sister, daughter and friend to all who loved her. Lynn's life was tragically taken from her in a senseless and brutal act of domestic violence.
These petitions call for action and changes to the Victims' Bill of Rights and for procedural changes to processing and bail proceedings. These petitions remind us of the need to take action against gender-based violence and to put the interests of the victim and of the victim's family before those who commit such heinous acts. Let us have justice for Lynn.
