Mr. Speaker, the member raises a very important concern that Canadians have and that our government shares.
We have always stood up against gender-based violence. We currently have a bill in the House, Bill C-9, which addresses femicide and makes it a conditional first-degree crime. In that bill, we are also making bail harder to obtain for those accused of sexual offences, including those involving choking, suffocation and strangulation.
We are also going to be bringing in a gender-based violence bill later on this year. We are working on all fronts.
