Incredibly disappointed today to see Conservative MPs vote against Bill C-16, which will strengthen the Criminal Code by:
-Making femicide a first-degree murder charge;
-Creating a new offence of coercive control;
-Making it mandatory for social media companies to report child sexual abuse and exploitative materials; and,
-Increasing penalties for child predators and restoring more than 12 mandatory minimum penalties.
Combatting crime, bringing criminals to justice and supporting victims are non partisan issues.
