Yes, that's a very good point. I do raise these matters on a continual basis with my provincial counterparts. I am pleased with the encouragement and support that I have received over the years. I get together with them on an annual basis, at least, and I'm in touch with them very often between federal, provincial, and territorial meetings. Again, I believe this will be well received. These funds will go straight into provincial coffers, straight into the programs they have to assist victims of crime. My prediction is that this will be very well received.
