This goes somewhat beyond the scope of the Criminal Code, but I can talk about the crime victims assistance fund, for example. The fund has been used for organizing an awareness week with a view to educating the public about the realities of victims of crime. During that week, the elder abuse response team from Calgary was there. Representatives from the City of Calgary were asked to contribute. They have a police service that pays particular attention to those types of abuse cases. I have also heard that Ottawa has a police section that handles those cases. We are talking about finding a balance between raising awareness and providing support to victims in those cases.
