Mr. Speaker, the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, of which I am a vice-chair, is finalizing our report on coercive control, gender-based violence and femicide. These studies started during the last Parliament and we are picking up where we left off.
Our next study will focus on a motion that was tabled in collaboration with the Conservative members of the committee. The study will seek to determine how section 810 of the Criminal Code could be improved to ensure the safety of women and girls. Conservative MPs have added a review of bail and sentencing regimes.
Does my colleague not believe that this type of debate should transcend partisanship? Should we not study the issue seriously in the House and in committee, rather than adopting such a bill under closure?
