Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the third report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women in relation to Bill C-225, an act to amend the Criminal Code.
The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House with amendments.
A woman is killed by femicide every 48 hours in this country. The bill would go a long way to making the punishment fit the crime. We have aptly named it “Bailey's Law”, after the tragedy that happened to Bailey McCourt.
I thank all members of the committee and all members of each party for supporting the bill and seeing it move forward.
