A possible spring election forced a legislative committee to cut short what was supposed to be an exhaustive study of intimate partner violence.

The justice policy subcommittee, co-led by a Progressive Conservative and a New Democrat , completed Phase 1 of its work.

The committee had grand plans that included travelling across the province to hear from survivors.

Now, the trip to Renfrew County in eastern Ontario has been cancelled and those discussions with survivors will occur either at Queen’s Park in Toronto or over video calls.

The committee’s Phase 2 a fact-finding mission to understand the responsibilities of numerous ministries that touch on intimate partner violence was to start in September .

Committee room space was impossible to find until late November .

The committee's long-term goal is to come up with recommendations that will likely include a sustained funding model for a whole host of preventive measures.
