I am not able to tell you actually, to be quite honest, because there are victims who are perhaps mentioned in police reports or various court documents who aren't coming forward, so it would be a difficult number to pull out.
But we have over 22,000 contacts with victims a year. We have specialized staff who are trained and who work with victims. They're called regional communications officers and they work individually with victims to provide information specific to the offender reviews that are coming up. Victims can present statements at our hearings and they can also observe our hearings. They are also eligible to receive copies of our decisions under the decision registry.
We work quite closely with victims in our work as part of our mandate.
