A New Brunswick advocate is calling on the government to implement a law that would give people the right to know if their partner has a history of domestic violence, three years after the bill received royal assent.

It was three years ago this week that Colette Martin received a standing ovation in New Brunswick’s legislature.

“I was very emotional, very happy that finally someone was listening,” she said.

On Dec. 16, 2022, Bill 17 — also known as Clare’s Law — received royal assent. It was named after Clare Wood, a United Kingdom woman who was killed by an ex-partner who had a reported history of violence against women.
