My question for you is in regard to the recommendations or suggestions you have provided. Does this bill reflect the advice given during those consultations?

Did the government consult with your organization while drafting this bill?

You said that it's a step in the right direction. Do you think we have to take more steps to make it robust?

C‑14 Do you think that current bail provisions, such as the incomplete Billon bail and sentencing, undermine the intent of this bill?

Is criminalizing coercive control enough to help victims and survivors?

C-216 Do you have anything to say about which bill would do a better job, or do you have no knowledge about Bill?

Do you believe that this bill does enough to deal with repeat offenders, particularly for intimate partner violence?

Thank you, Chair. Thanks to all our witnesses. My question is for Mr. Stamatakis. C-16 Do you believe that Billis strong enough on criminals to protect victims?

Do you believe that law enforcement has sufficient resources to keep up with this proposed legislation?

I'll cede my time to Mr. Baber.

Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you to all the witnesses for coming here. Ms. Silverstone, you indicated in your brief that this bill is a step forward and that there is room for improvement in this bill. Do you feel that this bill properly integrates the status of women committee's November 2025 recommendations on coercive control?

C-16 Regarding coercive control, your organization said that criminalization alone is not enough; training, education and survivor supports must come alongside it. Billcriminalizes it, but has the government given any indication that it intends to pursue the other things you call for?

I understand you have said that it has to be broadened to be more impactful, so what would you recommend to amend in this bill to better reflect those recommendations, if you have any?
