As an aside, I'm going to open a parenthesis. Although I'm not sure Mr. Petit is aware of it, he just stated that my hypothetical case was not hypothetical but factual. I guess I'm going to have to change examples. I would not wish to put Ms. O'Sullivan in the difficult position of having to comment on an actual event that took place under this Conservative government. It had a budget of close to $10 million to provide services to victims of crime, but it didn't spend it. Instead, it let half of it lapse and then turned around and spent $6 million on an ad campaign called “Victims Matter”, in which it claims that certain pieces of legislation are enforced when they are not.
