"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9423761\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviour used to isolate and intimidate, often before or alongside physical violence. In every one of our communities today, women are being subjected to humiliation, isolation and financial and verbal abuse, which often escalate to physical and sexual violence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9423762\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Our government is taking action. Can the Minister of Justice tell the House how Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13813664\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-16/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts in relation to criminal and correctional matters (child protection, gender-based violence, delays and other measures)\">C-16</a> would better protect our constituents from coercive control?</p>",
