The debate · 3 points
Supporters say
- over 127,000 cases were reported to police in 2022, and a woman is killed by a partner every 48 hours in Canada.
- The bill would create specific criminal offences for intimate partner violence and prevent police from releasing repeat offenders, giving victims stronger legal protections.
- Vulnerable groups — including Indigenous women and young women aged 15–24 — are disproportionately affected, making targeted legislation especially urgent.
