#DYK Every 14 minutes a vehicle is stolen in Ontario?

That’s why the Ontario government is cracking down on auto theft by introducing legislation that, if passed, would suspend driver’s licences for people convicted of the crime.

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

Today I tabled Lydia's Law, legislation that seeks to bring accountability & transparency to the handling of sexual assault cases in ON. In 2022, there were 1,326 cases of SA withdrawn or stayed before trial. These survivors deserve to have their day in court. #Bill189 #onpoli

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

“Victims, and families who support them, they are losing faith in the justice system”. In 2022, there were 1,326 cases of sexual assault withdrawn or stayed before trial. This is not justice. @CREVAWC @LukesPlace1 @SASCWR

[Victim Services of Peel @VictimServPeel]

@VicServPeel is incredibly grateful for @WAGE_FEGC investment to the This Way Out Project, aimed at building promising practices to prevent and respond to Human Trafficking in the Peel Region in collaboration with @PeelPolice.

[Ontario Network of Victim Service Providers @ONVSP]

Thank you @kernaghant & @jennkfrench🙌 The 48 victim services providers across Ont repeatedly highlight to govt the lack of sustainable funding & the negative impact this will have on already vulnerable victims. We provide 24/7 support. Proper funding is needed. #ONpoli #GBV #IPV

Today we #RememberThe14 women at Montreal’s École Polytechnique in 1989 whose lives were lost simply because they were women. Every 6 days a woman dies at the hands of an abusive intimate partner. We can't allow this violence to continue any longer. #takeaction #GBV #December6

[Ontario Network of Victim Service Providers @ONVSP]

Today @ONgov introduced proposed legislation, that, if passed, would update the Victims’ Bill of Rights, 1995 to make it easier for victims of crime to sue an offender for emotional distress and related bodily harm. #victimsrights https://t.co/o4i2Trw2vo
