Mr. Speaker, I highlight two recent times that catch-and-release has failed victims of intimate partner violence.
In one instance, an alleged abuser allegedly beat and repeatedly breached restraining orders against a partner. The result: multiple bail hearings, and likely, a terrified partner.
In another case, a woman was threatened; firearms were involved. The result: a bail hearing and a terrified partner.
When will the Liberal government end catch-and-release so that vulnerable women will no longer become terrified partners?
