  • Re: Bill S-12 
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her question and her commitment. Gender-based violence is an epidemic in Canada. We recently passed Bill S‑12 to improve the national sex offender registry and give victims more power in the criminal justice process. We also passed a bill that guarantees that judges will receive sexual assault training. We will continue to fight against gender-based violence so that all Canadians, both men and women, can be safe and feel safe.
