Thank you.
I feel a little bit like I've come full circle. Back when this legislation was put in place, I sat on the public safety committee and we reviewed the bill as it was being put into legislation. I remember at that time many people who came before the committee telling us that one of the big challenges was the lack of information that victims had. There was a belief that this bill would help to address that.
It appears as though, for whatever the reasons, that hasn't been the case, or at least not to a large enough degree. I want to touch on that in a second.
First, it's come up a few times, both in questioning and in your opening remarks, about the position of the commissioner being left vacant. I really see that as a slap in the face to victims. I want to just ask if all three of you could talk about the impact on victims of that position being left vacant.
Perhaps you could do that as concisely as possible. Anyone can go first.
