Ontario is working on implementing some of the recommendations from an inquest into the deaths of three women at the hands of their former partner, but the son of one victim is disappointed by what has not been done so far.
The jury at a coroner's inquest into the 2015 deaths of Nathalie Warmerdam, Carol Culleton and Anastasia Kuzyk in Renfrew County issued 86 recommendations in June aimed at preventing similar tragedies.
But Malcolm Warmerdam said Friday he is disappointed the government has not yet responded to the recommendations addressing perpetrators of intimate partner violence, nor to one urging the immediate creation of a provincial committee in charge of implementing the recommendations. A spokesperson for the Ministry of the Solicitor General said the government will complete its review of all the recommendations before the summer.
NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the inquest jury laid out a "road map to action" but the government hasn't followed it. In addition to declaring intimate partner violence an epidemic, other recommendations the government has not yet addressed include creating a survivor advocate position, reviewing policies on emergency alerts and media releases about dangerous situations, and establishing a 24-7 hotline for men who need support to prevent them from engaging in intimate partner violence.
