Madam Speaker, when I classify victims, I highlight that women across this country have long felt that there is absolutely no justice to our system. They view it as a legal system, because for 10-plus years, they have been abandoned in the process. The sentencing guidelines do not reflect the true gravity of intimate partner violence.
To answer my colleague's question, absolutely we will prioritize victims, particularly women of intimate partner violence, to ensure that their offenders are sanctioned appropriately and meaningfully so that there is not only a denunciation impact, but a deterrent impact.
