Mr. Speaker, during the previous Parliament, the Bloc Québécois introduced a bill that sought to provide a framework for the Jordan decision. That was in response to requests from a lot of victims and groups of women who were victims of intimate partner violence. These women opposed the fact that the Jordan decision enabled some attackers to avoid going to trial.
The Jordan decision exists, but we would like to have a framework for it, at least for some specific crimes. That is what victims want. During the previous Parliament, the committee heard from victims while it was studying the Bloc Québécois bill to codify the framework for the Jordan decision. Many groups and many victims supported that idea and continue to support it.
We will see if we can raise this very important issue once again in this Parliament.
