There is something else we have learned from this study, which is very disturbing.
In fact, Ontario judges and crown prosecutors refused to impose the surcharge simply because those funds were not put towards the funds for victims, but rather paid to the treasury of the Province of Ontario. The money wasn’t given to the victims directly, which did not make those people have confidence in the system.
Do you think that the federal government should work with the provinces to make judges confident in this respect?
