Thank you, Mr. Speaker and thank you colleagues. I suggest to you that a means of timely intervention would most importantly provide assistance to the victims, but it would ultimately benefit perpetrators of violence as well, as most later regret what they have done to a loved one in the heat of anger or under the influence of alcohol.

I was given to believe that family violence legislation would be passed during the life of this government and I would be the seconder to a notice of motion today to accomplish that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
