Ontario is proposing legislation that, if passed, would impose stiffer penalties for those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs – including a lifetime licence suspension for those convicted of impaired driving causing death.

#DYK Every 14 minutes a vehicle is stolen in Ontario?
That’s why the Ontario government is cracking down on auto theft by introducing legislation that, if passed, would suspend driver’s licences for people convicted of the crime.

Today I tabled Lydia's Law, legislation that seeks to bring accountability & transparency to the handling of sexual assault cases in ON. In 2022, there were 1,326 cases of SA withdrawn or stayed before trial. These survivors deserve to have their day in court. #Bill189 #onpoli

“Victims, and families who support them, they are losing faith in the justice system”. In 2022, there were 1,326 cases of sexual assault withdrawn or stayed before trial. This is not justice. @CREVAWC @LukesPlace1 @SASCWR

Thank you @kernaghant & @jennkfrench🙌 The 48 victim services providers across Ont repeatedly highlight to govt the lack of sustainable funding & the negative impact this will have on already vulnerable victims. We provide 24/7 support. Proper funding is needed. #ONpoli #GBV #IPV

Today we #RememberThe14 women at Montreal’s École Polytechnique in 1989 whose lives were lost simply because they were women. Every 6 days a woman dies at the hands of an abusive intimate partner. We can't allow this violence to continue any longer. #takeaction #GBV #December6
