Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all three witnesses for appearing today, not just for appearing here but for the work they do each and every day on behalf of victims. I don't think we acknowledge the amount of work that's done with the slender resources available in this country, and I think that's important.
I heard a few things today I would like to ask about, but I don't think they're questions for our witnesses, because all three of them talked about the need for mandatory information sharing with victims. All three witnesses have talked about the need for legal remedies and the need for adequate resourcing. I don't think those are questions for our three witnesses. They are questions, first of all, for us as a committee and, second, for the government.
I also want to say that probably every member of this committee has raised with the government the need to fill the position of the federal ombudsman for victims of crime in a timely manner, and we're well beyond the timely manner. We wait, as do victims, for this job to be filled.
I have three questions I want to ask.
First, I'll ask Dr. Roebuck a question as the academic, and I always confess to being a recovering academic.
Do we have any idea of the reach of victims services now? In other words, of all the victims we have in the system, how many victims get any kind of services? Is there any way for us to judge the size of that problem?
