Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Victoria for her speech. We share the same concern about coercive control. Today, I am thinking about Mirabelle who, during the pandemic, made me aware of this issue. The number of women sharing their experiences on her blog skyrocketed during the pandemic. On March 8, as part of International Women's Day, Quebec's National Assembly called on the federal government to criminalize coercive control this year. On April 17, I attended a symposium on violence against women, organized by a consortium of community groups from the Brome-Missisquoi and Haute-Yamaska regions. At this symposium, participants also asked that the federal government look into this issue, and we talked about my colleague's bill. I do have a question: Why is this taking so long?
