flag Canada's women's committee urges federal revival of law criminalizing coercive control in relationships.

flag Canada’s House of Commons Status of Women committee urged the federal government to revive legislation criminalizing coercive control in intimate relationships, citing its severe psychological impact and role as a precursor to physical violence. flag The recommendation, backed by a new report, calls for defining coercive control—such as financial abuse, isolation, and surveillance—as a criminal offense, along with mandatory training for law enforcement and justice officials. flag The move aims to improve victim protection, enhance legal enforcement, and align Canada with international standards, though the government has not yet committed to reintroducing the bill.
