Victims of intimate partner violence are upset after early election speculation forced an Ontario legislative committee to cut short what was supposed to be an exhaustive study.
and their supporters are upset after early election speculation forced an Ontario legislative committee to cut short what was supposed to be an exhaustive study of the issue.
“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,” said Jess Dixon, the Progressive Conservative co-lead of the committee.Premier Doug Ford has not ruled out calling an early election in 2025 instead of sticking with the date set for June 2026.“This whole process is very much becoming a farce,” Wong-Tam said.
Then-government house leader Paul Calandra said the committee would perform “an in-depth study on all of the aspects with respect to intimate partner violence, both the current programs that are available, some of the root causes of it and how we can do better in the province of Ontario.” “Kristyn cares and wants to see a change and understands that I am pushing for this just as hard as anybody else,” Dixon said in September.While Wong-Tam said then that there were better ways to spend their time than to produce yet another report on the issue, she believed it was “better to have a seat at the table” with Dixon.
