Again, one of the things we have done is to commit additional funding of $52 million over the next four years for assisting victims, to the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime. Again, in my opinion these are all steps in the right direction, more money for the victims fund, expanding the criteria for which an individual.... So yes, we are putting in more money, and I think appropriately so. We want to support victims through the changes in the criminal justice system, but I'm also very much in favour of the money the federal government is putting forward to assist them directly.
