I do not understand how the European Union, with 27 different governments, can agree on a series of minimum standards for victims that cover most of the things that we talked about, including what is in the bill of rights and more, and we can't get that sort of agreement among our provinces and territories.
The issue is how you actually develop those standards and get an agreement. That's why you have to have, in the federal government, at a level that can actually influence what goes on, an agency that will be there to develop those standards. England has legislated a code of practice that mentions all the people you mentioned and more, as well as saying what they should be doing. It's legislated. They started with whatever executive document, and then it was legislated, and the remedies are in there. Maybe the remedies aren't enough, but they are remedies.
We really need to wake up and get action on this. The only way we're going to get action is if you actually have a minister and a deputy minister who are responsible for taking the action that we need. Standards are one thing; training is another. What gets measured gets done. We need to measure. We need research and development. We need reciprocal arrangements between different provinces and with U.S. states. We really need to catch up and do something seriously.
