I would add that if you are instead suggesting that we extend so that those who have been victimized who might not otherwise be institutionalized in a hospital also be eligible, we would certainly support that. That's not what's in the bill, though, and in fact it doesn't aid victims any more by providing additional supports in that manner.
The other thing I think you need to be aware of is that the federal programs wouldn't necessarily be impacted. One, I think you might want to visit some of the federal institutions to see how limited the programming is as the numbers are going up, particularly in the women's prisons, where there's massive overcrowding. But this would impact the provincial and territorial jails mostly, and there isn't the vocational training or employment training or the sorts of programs you talked about. Go into any of the provincial and territorial jails in your area, and you will not see much programming. In fact, you'll see mostly warehousing. I think you need to address that issue, and to be aware of it.
If you want to have a friendly amendment to extend this to victims who might otherwise not be eligible, we would certainly support that.
