Anti-violence experts are disappointed by the provincial government’s responses so far to recommendations from an inquest last summer into a triple femicide in rural Ontario., after a three-week inquest probing the murders of Carol Culleton, Nathalie Warmerdam and Anastasia Kuzyk – who were killed at their homes by a mutual ex-partner on a shooting rampage across the Ottawa Valley on Sept. 22, 2015.against these three women and others.
She said she is particularly aggrieved by the government’s silence on the first five recommendations, which include formally declaring intimate-partner violence an epidemic in the province, and establishing a committee to oversee the implementation of the recommendations.

The government has accepted the vast majority of the recommendations it has responded to so far. But in some cases, Erin Lee, the executive director of the Lanark County Interval House, a shelter for women and children fleeing violence, said the government cites policies or programs that were already in place, rather than future plans.
“We can say that we already do something in a system, but for me, it’s not about whether that exists or not – it’s about whether or not it’s effective,” Ms. Lee said. “And so, are you doing a review of that process?”
