Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being with us today, Ms. O'Sullivan.
As you know, our government created the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime in 2007. I know that you've held that position for about two years now. Your input here is invaluable as we go through this legislation.
I'm aware, of course—and I believe you mentioned this in your opening remarks—that in your report on February 2 of this year, Shifting the Conversation, which is a title I like, you recommended a doubling of the victim surcharge and that it become mandatory. I'd think you'd agree with me that this legislation is meeting that strong suggestion you had. It was heard.
