The unified family court proposed for Quebec in the expert committee's report is very promising. In our view, this would allow the victim to be heard and all the issues to be taken into account. Basically, the goal of this unified court is for the civil justice system and the criminal justice system to talk to each other. Currently, the two systems are completely sealed off from each other, unfortunately. Often, women are even advised not to talk about domestic violence in criminal cases, even in civil cases, in order not to lose their children or appear antagonistic, for example.
As always, therefore, we come back to the need to hear what these women have gone through, to put a name to it, and to establish specific consequences.
Earlier, a question was asked about section 810 of the Criminal Code. However, it's not just about section 810, it also applies to section 811. Practically, therefore, we can clearly see that things are not working correctly.
