## Resource

Canada just passed groundbreaking legislation named Bailey’s Law, turning tragic loss into lasting change. After the murder of 32-year-old Bailey McCourt — whose killer was on bail hours before the attack — lawmakers enacted a new law that charges intimate partner killers with first-degree murder if their violence follows a pattern of control. This rare, historic bill, championed by MP Frank Caputo, shifts focus from assault to the deadly reality of domestic violence, creating a new specific offense to better track and prosecute these crimes. Set to take effect in 30 days, it’s a powerful step forward — and a testament to the relentless advocacy of Bailey’s family and the rare success of a private member’s bill in transforming justice for victims across the country.
