## Resource

Canada’s Criminal Code is getting a major overhaul targeting intimate partner violence, with killers of partners now eligible for first-degree murder charges—even if the act wasn’t premeditated. This landmark change, known as Bailey’s Law, honors Bailey McCourt, a 32-year-old mother tragically killed by her former partner just hours after his bail release. Her family calls it bittersweet: a crucial step forward, but still raw with grief. The new law also establishes a specific offense for intimate partner violence to improve tracking and accountability. Passed within a year of Bailey’s death, this legislation is hailed as one of the most significant legal reforms in decades, driven by her family’s relentless advocacy and the tireless work of her champion MP.
