Reg. 159 .99 545-210 $ 129097 Mulcher Kà ital by Ross Steven~son, M.P. for Durham Recognizing the growing concerri about public safety, especially violence against women and in families, the federal goverriment has introduced significant new changes to the Criminal Code. To increase protection for women, the Code will contain a new offence --- criminal harassment, usually referred to as stalking. Stalking includes such things as persistently following someone, spending long periods of time watching a person's home or workplace, making barassing telephone cails, contacting neighbours or co-workers, as well as contacting and possibly threatening someone's companion or spouse. While some of these already are at least partially covered by the Criminal Code, victims and support groups have complained the existing law doesn't treat them as a serious offence, and that it's complicated and difficult to enforce. The new law increases the penalty for stalking to a maximum of five years in penitentiary, and also covers a broader range of activities which, under the circumstances, would cause the victim to fear for the safety of herself, her family, or any of her friends. This was welcomed enthusiasticafly by the Hon. Mary Collins, Minister Responsible for the Status of Women. "Staking is flot only a blatant invasion of women's personal security," she stated, "in too many instances it has been the prelude to serious injury or even m-turder." She poînted out the new law is part of a broad federal campaigri to end violence against women. That includes greater protection for victims of sexual assault, tighter parole laws for sexual and other offenders, stronger gun laws, the $136 million Family Violence Initiative and flhe special 1ane on Violence Against Women which is to pubiish its findîngs later this year. The stalking law is one of several Criminal Code ameridments included in Bill C- 126, which Justice Mfinister Pierre Biais brought before Parliament at the end of April. When setting bail in a case involving family violence, a judge will be able to order an accused spouse to keep away from the family residence and not communicate with any family members or witnesses. Another section' would permit judges 10 impose a ban lasting up to a lifetime for convicted sex offenders, barring them fromn school grounds, daycare centres, playgrounds, community centres, public parks, or bathing areas, and from any job that would place them in a position of trust or authority over children. In child sexual abuse cases, the young victim might well fear seeing the accused person in court. Under Bill C-126, if the accused doesn't want to use a lawyer, the judge cari prevent him or ber firom directly cross-examining the victim. It also permnits a friend or relative to be reassuringly close by while the chîld witness is testifying. The new legislation addresses concerns about husbands and wives conspiring wîth each other in child abuse cases, and clarifies the law regarding abduction of a child by its parent. Clearly, Bill C-126 contains several extremely important and necessary improvemeîits for the Criminal Code. It's received second reading in the bouse of Commons, and now is before a House committee for detailed study. The principal opposition parties have indicated they're prepared to co-operate in giving C-126 quick approval, in the hope it can be passed by the Senate and then enacted before Parliament recesses next month. I'm sure we'd aIl bc pleased to see that happen.
