Madam Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, this issue of rising crime is deeply troubling, and women in particular are being targeted. At the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, we will be resuming the studies we started in the previous Parliament that were interrupted by the election. We will be resuming one study on gender-based violence and another on coercive behaviour and the criminalization of such behaviour. These issues are crucial to addressing crimes against women.
During both of these studies, several witnesses raised the issue of the Jordan ruling. According to them, the Jordan ruling does nothing to help restore victims' confidence in the justice system. Among other things, they are asking for guidelines to be issued for the use of Jordan.
I would like to ask my colleague if she would be willing to support the bill introduced by the Bloc Québécois, which seeks to create guidelines for the use of the Jordan ruling for serious crimes, particularly against women.
