Thank you to all the witnesses. I appreciate your testimony.
I note that oftentimes, as I've seen this committee, the opposition questioning does not focus on the victims. I'm interested in some comments made by the Canadian Police Association on how victims feel and also police officers, who, as you said, are on the front line, protecting society. I'd like to know what you hear from front-line police officers when they see someone who's committed.... Maybe use an example of one of these sentences that are punishable by 10 years, and I've noted that there are some sentences that are not included here that you would like to see included.
As parliamentarians, we do have to balance things. We have some people who say that too much is included; others say that not enough is included. I will note, for your information, that Ed Fast, one of our members, has introduced a private member's bill that would include luring in this bill, by raising to 10 years the maximum sentence for luring of a child. I support that initiative. That's a good move.
But can you comment a bit on that frustration and also on how victims you hear from feel when someone has committed an offence against them, and then that person, without serving any time, is back in the community where the offence was committed?
