They tell me they want to be notified. They say they don't want to see the individual who has caused horrible tragedy to their families in the grocery store or sitting in church with them next Sunday. They'd have a problem with that. As one of your colleagues said, a lot of these things just make common sense.
Again, this is what we are doing at the federal level with respect to victims across this country. We're looking at all aspects of the criminal justice system and within this regime as well, to make sure that victims are heard, that their priorities are taken into consideration. This is why I say to people, when they want to look at this, to have a look at what we're doing for victims. Yes, they should be notified if that's what they want. Yes, there should be provision for non-communication orders. Wouldn't that be reasonable if somebody has been victimized, that there should be an order out there that this individual shouldn't be communicating with them?
When I have met with victims, these are the kinds of stories they tell me. It's very disconcerting, quite frankly, when people start telling you about some of the things they have gone through. I always tell them the same thing, that they have the right group in Ottawa today. We are determined to do something about that. We will stand up with victims and that's exactly what's taking place in this piece of legislation.
