I have three questions.
Mr. Minister, from the report on plans and priorities, it appears—it doesn't just appear, it is a fact—that the funding for the drug treatment courts is being reduced by about 25%. I'd like you to clarify that.
In the context of the anti-drug strategy, we've had anti-drug strategies around here for 20 years. What's different about yours? It's nice that we have one, but you've spoken of it as though it's a refreshing change, when, as I look at it, looking back 20 years, it's a continuation.
Secondly, you referred to this fund for victims of crime abroad, and the way you spoke of it, I got the impression that if a Canadian were the victim of a crime abroad—for example, an assault, or he or she loses his or her backpack, suitcase, or briefcase in Gorky Park or in London's Hyde Park—he or she could apply and obtain a grant to come home. I'd like you to clarify just what exactly is this victims fund that you've referred to and how it's going to operate.
