We have to be respectful of both the views and the grief of victims, and Canadian criminal law has gone a long way in 30 years to be respectful. I'm not saying we've succeeded or that the job has ended. A big part of that is giving people information about the process and giving them an opportunity to participate, and the National Parole Board has done that. The CCRA provides an enormous amount of material to victims. There are specific provisions of what is available.
I don't know how you can look into the future and predict how a family is going to think or feel 25 years down the road. If people want to continue to participate, they ought to be able to participate. The difficulties of that, though, are just inescapable, if you're going to be respectful of someone's views and someone's grief. Conversely, you can't make penal policy based on the views of a small group of people, so it's a difficult situation.
I read the newspapers last week and we'll see how that matter progresses, but as you pointed out, you're talking about two or three people in the country.
