Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being here today.
Obviously we can never do enough to prevent crime. We all agree on the importance of measures to both prevent and tackle crime. Equally important is the need to consider and promote victims' rights, which are paramount. We must never lose sight of the fact that victims have rights. Our government must equip itself with the tools to support them after the crime and to give them solutions that enable them to rebuild their lives.
Mr. Bissett, you lamented the lack of resources preventing immigration officers from interviewing immigrants who come here. Do you see the new measures to centralize application processing in Ottawa, on the basis of document and form analysis, as an appropriate solution?
