House Hansard - 61

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
April 29, 2022 10:00AM
Context: House Hansard - 61 - Apr/29/22
Ms. Melissa Lantsman (Thornhill, CPC)
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for bringing this important legislation to the House. I look forward to sharing my comments with the House and to telling her formally that she has my full support. She said in her comments that more needs to be done. I am wondering if she could comment on how that can happen, whether it is by imposing tougher sentences on those who assault their spouse, treating abuse like an aggravating factor in sentencing, or making mandatory minimums a possibility. The death of Keira was an entirely preventable one and there is more that could be done. I just want to know if the hon. member would be amenable to things like that.
