Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I don't really have much time, but this is a very interesting and important debate.
From what Ms. O'Sullivan, Mr. Fortier and Mr. Tremblay have said to us, I take that we need to listen to victims. When they make the decision to lay charges and to go through the laborious justice system—the trial, the parole and the sentencing—they need support, they need to be listened to, and they need the other actors in the legal system to be there for them. This may be the most important issue we hear about.
We saw each other previously when we were studying Bill C-32. And indeed, we consolidated what the victims tell us each time they come to testify here; they want information, and during the entire trial and even afterward, they want the actors in the justice system to be there for them and to listen to them; but we are talking about other kinds of help, other kinds of organizations.
The registry is going to disclose the name of someone who has already committed a crime. Will this really meet the demands of the victims and the people you deal with? I am sorry, it is the only term I could come up with. Does that meet the needs of victims who want to be listened to and to know whether there are negotiations? I really wonder what a registry adds to the equation.
If the victim is not listened to during all of the trial but is told that the name will be published on an Internet site, will this really be a response to what you hear in the field?
Thank you very much.
