Conservative legislation to end intimate partner violence

Intimate partner violence is a scourge that affects Canadians in every community. This bill introduces urgently needed measures to protect victims and hold abusers accountable.

This bill will:

1. Create a new offence of assault on an intimate partner.

2. Make the murder of an intimate partner a first-degree murder charge.

3. Establish a mechanism for judges to conduct risk assessments to identify red flags before violence occurs.

4. Streamline and modernize the detention of seized goods.

Now more than ever, it is important to stand with survivors, protect victims, and build a Canada where every person feels safe.
