I'll be quick.
Compared to the U.S., where authorities and the Crown invited community impact statements and victim impact statements, we did not see that happening here. For the process that David was speaking to in the Canadian impact statement within the Canadian proceedings, I was one of the people who tried to submit a community impact statement. The Crown prosecutor did not allow me to present that. I won't repeat what David said, but we were not able to present that statement.
The problem we saw was that, unlike the U.S. where the prosecutor saw the community as an important piece of the prosecution, here it was the other way around where we felt we were being locked out of the court process. We were unable to represent our communities when it came to presenting an impact statement in how the VW crime impacted public health.
