I think the prevention of future offences piece is critical, because it's enhancing the agency and autonomy of a victim to come forward in a manner that complies with the law and that will empower people, particularly women—if we're being frank with the statistics—to share their stories with women, other women and children, so that they can protect themselves. That's important.
I think it's also important that people feel.... If they're coming forward and entering into a criminal justice system that is sometimes fairly traumatizing just to enter into, if they feel a more welcome reception vis-à-vis their autonomy, their dignity and the ability to control their information, that can enhance reporting, which in and of itself is a good thing. It gives us a better handle on the situation, as we share the concerns about crime generally, but it also gives us a better handle on how to address the situation.
I think there are multiple reasons why this could be beneficial if it's implemented correctly. Ultimately, it's about confidence in the criminal justice system—confidence that it will be addressing the needs of victims. That is something I've heard a lot about from this committee in my previous incarnation, and that is something we need to be attentive to.
