Victims of intimate partner violence are disappointed as election speculation has forced an Ontario legislative committee to rush its study on the matter.
Jess Dixon, the Progressive Conservative co-lead said, 'I don’t know if there will be an early election, but given everything is possible and given everything that we’ve worked on, I’m expediting the timeline.'
Kristyn Wong-Tam, co-lead from the New Democrat, expressed her frustration saying, 'This whole process is very much becoming a farce,' reflecting on the hurriedness of the committee's actions.
The justice policy subcommittee had completed Phase 1 after engaging with nearly 90 witnesses, but planned extensive discussions with survivors were canceled due to the compressed timeline.
