Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
NDP-21, as with the previous NDP amendments, would extend protections in legal proceedings to all those victimized by intimate partners and not just for a limited number of offences.

JUSTICE #28: Bill C-16 NDP-21 Amendment
Justice Committee on May 4th, 2026
Evidence of meeting #28 for Justice and Human Rights in the 45th Parliament, 1st session.

Thank you, Ms. Kwan.
Is there anybody else? No. Okay.
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
(Clause 68 agreed to)
(On clause 69)
That brings us to clause 69 and NDP-22. If NDP-22 is adopted, G-32 cannot be moved due to a line conflict.
Ms. Kwan, it's back to you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, similar to previous NDP amendments, this would extend protections in legal proceedings to all those victimized by their intimate partners, and not restrict protections to a limited number of offences. In echoing the recommendations of the National Association of Women and the Law, New Democrats are committed to ensuring that survivors of all forms of intimate partner abuse are protected while testifying in court. We urge all parties to vote in favour of this amendment to ensure these protections are in place.
The Chair James Maloney

Thank you, Ms. Kwan.
I go to Mr. Brock, and then to Mr. Baber.
