Quebec tables bill allowing access to partners’ history of intimate partner violence

The bill has also been referred to as the Gabie Renaud law, in honour of a woman who was allegedly killed by her partner last September. Correction: A previous version of this video erroneously included an image of an individual who was not accused in connection with this case. The image has been removed.
