Mr. Chairman, it would be premature to answer any dollar questions in relation to a private member's bill. However, it would be approximately 900 additional ETA reviews per year. Roughly 25% of those are hearings; 75% are in-office reviews. That would provide victims with an additional approximately 200 hearings they could attend and at which they could provide a statement regarding an individual. These are offenders serving life or indeterminate sentences of life for first-degree or second-degree murder.
