That's a journey that.... I can't speak on behalf of victims. That's a journey that they take.
I've appeared at conferences. I was at a workshop with a great number of victims. It was in Toronto. It was sponsored by the National Parole Board. Your colleague has brought up that victims and the public want to feel safe about who is in their community, and I disclosed at that meeting that I was convicted of first-degree murder.
At the end of the day, I drove one of the women home to her house; my wife and I walked the other woman to her car. They said after the whole day of workshops together, “I'm just not sure. I just want to make sure that I'm safe in the community.” That's what the faint hope clause and the judicial review process are about.
You're absolutely right that the public wants to know that they're going to be safe in the community. You're absolutely right. When somebody goes back into the community, meets, and testifies, and has their whole life explained and presented to the public and the jury, they decide whether that person should be considered for parole. That's what this legislation is about.
