My experience has been that the government, including the former Liberal government, has been much more responsive to other organizations than the Law Commission of Canada. It almost seems like a deliberate insult to the Law Commission of Canada that they simply didn't respond to any of the reports the Law Commission was coming out with. Yet I know there are organizations that the former government responded to and that we as a government do. For example, if you look at the legislation we brought forward, it indicates that we've been consulting with victims groups that are independent of government, the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police--various groups. We've always taken them into account. We haven't always accepted it as policy that would be implemented in legislation, but we've responded certainly much more than the prior government did to the Law Commission of Canada.
