Thank you, Minister, for being here today.
I'll centre my questions around restitution. If I may, Minister, I'll give you the four questions I have, and then I'll let you carry on.
First, can you tell us what restitution is? There are a lot of people who probably don't understand all of the types of restitution that can be involved. Why does the victims bill of rights include a right to access restitution?
Second, why is restitution important for victims?
Third, why are these changes important within the bill?
Fourth, if restitution is made in favour of the victim, what mechanisms are in place for non-compliance?
