Inside Ontario’s IPV Subcommittee – A Conversation with MPP Jess Dixon

Jess Dixon is the MPP for Kitchener South–Hespeler and one of the leads on Ontario’s Intimate Partner Violence Subcommittee, a provincial initiative launched in response to the Renfrew County Inquest and the growing call to address intimate partner violence systemically.

In this episode, we talk about how the subcommittee is structured, what priorities are shaping its work, and how policy decisions, like those around mandatory charging, are being navigated in real time.
