I'll start again.
Mr. Minister, since you have decided to talk about many other things than the things we wanted to deal with today, that is, the Supplementary Estimates, I would like to make a preliminary comment before I ask you a few questions.
I understand what it is that keeps us apart. I think we can agree to continue to disagree on many subjects. One of the main differences between you and me is that every time you see a crime, you always think of the worst way of committing it. I myself have learned from experience that there are a great many ways of committing a given crime.
Sexual assault is one of the best examples. Inappropriate behaviour after a Christmas party is properly described as sexual assault. But that is very different from acts committed by people who roam the streets looking for young women on foot and using them to satisfy their desire for sex. If I were a judge, I swear to you that I would not impose the same sentence in those two cases. You would probably do the same. If you were a judge and had to judge many crimes, you would see the huge difference there can be in the accountability of people who commit the exact same crime. That is why they have to be able to get different sentences.
You talked about a wonderful project designed to help victims. Can you tell us how much is going to be allocated to this new project? I cannot find the answer in the documents you sent us.
