Yes, that is true, but I can nevertheless assure the committee that we are working in close cooperation with our provincial and territorial colleagues.
For instance, I chair a working group that includes all of the directors of victims' assistance services. We examined several aspects of the bill, and among other things we have created a special subcommittee on the victims' bill of rights. It includes crown attorneys, people who work in the delivery of services provided by tribunals, victims' assistance services, and the legal aid services from all of the provinces and territories. That subcommittee is discussing matters related to the implementation and enforcement of the act.
This work is being done in cooperation with various stakeholders and has allowed us to suggest some fine-tuning for the bill. We are now working to develop tools to support the provinces and territories.
