I am absolutely in favour of defending victims' rights. As a result, I'm always very open to three, four or five years, because there are always people who would need it. More time is always a very good thing. I understand that, in law, you have to weigh the pros and cons of a decision and that there are consequences. For the time being, based on our experience, we think the two-year timeline is reasonable. It seems to be working well in Quebec, even though there are some exceptions that would benefit from a longer timeline.
Obviously, as I guide people through the legal system, I'm also aware that the more time has passed since the events, the harder it is to be accurate and credible. Therefore, I understand that there are pros and cons to setting the timelines.
Today, I am prepared to say that our organization as a whole finds that six months is not at all sufficient. Two years seems reasonable to us. We would be very much in favour of a timeline longer than two years, for both Quebec and Canada.
