Yes, I think we can do more. In particular, on the question of compensation for victims of violence, what is offered by Nova Scotia, for example, in terms of state compensation for victims of crime, is very limited. It's psychological care, which is very important, but that's it. That's all that's offered.
There are, as a result, great differences across Canada. Some provinces offer absolutely nothing. In Newfoundland there is nothing. In the territories there is nothing. That is unacceptable.
So yes, a lot has to be done and a lot more can be done to make sure that Canada meets the minimum standards set out in the UN declaration in order to meet the needs of victims. I think about what happened recently in London, Ontario, which was horrible. My first thoughts were about what is available now in Ontario in terms of aid and assistance for the child who survived. Last year the Ontario government stripped its state compensation program. What was available before, after 20 years of trying to make it better, was replaced by something that, in comparison with Quebec, for example, is very minimal in terms of what services are offered.
This is a real concern. We should at least have minimum standards across the country, so that basic essential services are available to all Canadians who fall victim to violence.
Does that answer your question?
