I know that we're moving ahead in all of these different areas. I can tell you that one of the things I am particularly proud of is the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime.
You may remember that it was first recommended in the year 2000. A couple of administrations did not act on it, and approximately two years ago we moved forward with it, appointing the first federal ombudsman for victims of crime. His role, of course, is to get the office up and running. I have watched that very carefully and am very pleased with the initial results. Again, as I indicated to you a couple of days ago in Parliament, I tabled the first report of it.
So this is a success story. Standing up for victims and giving them an outlet or place to express their concerns, or their suggestions with respect to the issues that affect them, I think is a very important component of what we have done. Again, who can argue with standing up for victims and law-abiding Canadians? This is a step in the right direction.
