Yes, it's not an on-the-fly solution but I heard that we'd have to hire more crown attorneys to make these identifications. With the greatest respect, I think it just needs to be somebody who can dial a telephone and say that the trial is next week. It doesn't have to be a crown attorney or a police officer.
My worry is the bail situation because at least in Hamilton, which I'm familiar with, and in the Toronto area the crown attorney is not assigned to the file at a bail situation, or it would be rare for that to happen. I think that is a very grave concern if there is not one point of contact that unblurs the lines, if that's the word, where you would say you're going to testify—and the police officer doesn't always testify at a bail hearing—but once the information is laid and the ink has dried that turns to the crown attorney's office. I'm not sure we could put that onto victims services because I don't think the resources are available. It certainly sounds a bit like telemarketing, but if you had a bank of phones and people were telling what happened in your case yesterday, that's just a go-forward every day. That's my quick solution.
