I don't think it will play out any differently now. In the Criminal Code now there are provisions for not criminally responsible cases where victims can do impact statements. I understand that because the person isn't found guilty of the crime in a sense they're not criminally responsible. They've done the act but they didn't have the elements to form the intent. I don't think from a practical point of view, a front-line perspective, that there's really a difference in how victims are treated. Mental Health Review Board hearings allow victims to come to hearings. They can do impact statements. I don't know if the systems work that well in all the provinces, but those provisions do exist.
