Lobbying activity details:
Bill C-16 (Protecting Victims Act), with respect to coercive control.
In February 2026, CNPEA was part of a group of organizations who reached out MPs, Senators and staffers about proposed Bill C-16  to suggest an amendment creating a coercive control offence that applies beyond intimate partners, to relatives. Expanding Bill C-16 in this way would better reflect the realities of many older victims and help ensure elder abusers are held accountable.
