Thank you for your testimony. I know it's hard to answer a lot of these technical questions. I suspect a number of you are lawyers, and it's always more fun to ask the question than to answer it, for sure.
In any event, I'm looking at clause 9 of the Canadian victims bill of rights, which recognizes that all victims have “the right to have their security considered by the appropriate authorities in the criminal justice system”.
The question is to what extent the appropriate authorities would be obligated to take measures to provide for the security of victims.
As a sub-question, are the Parole Board of Canada and Correctional Service of Canada appropriate authorities obligated to take these measures to provide the security of victims?
