Given what 70% of respondents said, it feels insubstantial. At the very least, it could do with 1/10th the PSAs drinking and driving gets.

It's communicated in a few ways. There is a portion of an application or renewal that requires a conjugal partner to sign off, the number to call for safety concerns is listed there. The CFP will also call a conjugal partner during the application or renewal process and speak to them about the application and if they have concerns. The method to contact is communicated then as well and the CFP will make sure the person isn't under duress during the call. There is also a pamphlet that is sent out, which has the contact methods listed.
That sign off is for a current or former (within 2 years) conjugal partner. No signature from them and your application get more scrutiny. Your references are also provided with the contact information.
That's also in addition to the continuous eligibility screening that is done. Deal with the police in any fashion that involves a statement being taken or them creating an internal file, and there is almost a 100% chance that that information is with the provincial CFO within 24 hours to determine if it affects license eligibility. I can imagine that domestic calls to the police would guarantee a separate CFO investigation.
