Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, entitled “Coercive Control in Canada”.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
We know that coercive control is often the precursor to violence against women in Canada. The recommendations in this report, if acted upon, will go a long way to helping eliminate that violence.
