Yes. I very much embrace the use of technology when it comes to access to justice more generally. In this particular instance, we're attempting to create interconnectivity through online systems through this justice network, much like the model of the child advocacy centres. As I mentioned, we have already established these child advocacy centres that have the ability to access that information to assist victims across the country.
We're a country where people are highly mobile. Sometimes crimes sadly occur in one jurisdiction, people move, or they were on vacation. In many instances you have people in one part of the country who are required to return for court proceedings. In my view using closed-circuit cameras; being able to share that information; having police forces, victims' services, and court administration interconnected through technology helps us overcome some of the vast distances. The north in particular has these challenges daily. We have very remote communities that quite frankly you can only access at certain times of the year. Mr. Leef can speak to this with authority. It requires specialized equipment just to get there, given the remoteness of the community.
This victim justice network has been spearheaded by one woman in particular who has great personal experience in the justice system, Priscilla de Villiers. She and many others who are dedicated, volunteers for the most part, have been the initiators of this process. As you mentioned, we've put $200,000 toward this initiative. In my view it will bring about a much more efficient, much more interconnected system that will not only benefit victims, but also benefit the participants who work every day to try to improve the way our justice system functions in Canada.
