Mr. Serge Charbonneau at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I agree completely with it, and we are in the process of adapting to the principles. We had adopted measures in the past, but the act states, in the declaration of principle, that participation by victims has to be encouraged, even in relation to specific sentences. We have projects in Quebec that will mean that victims are able to participate in the pre-sentencing process, during the sentencing phase and even post-sentencing. While the young person is in custody or on probation, we encourage victims to participate in the process, we are increasingly creating spaces to encourage them to participate.
