I think more funding.... I think if you look at the victims of crime act in the United States, you see that it has definitely changed what is going on. It's not a huge bureaucracy; it's part of the U.S. Department of Justice. I didn't actually recommend a new department; I recommended at the deputy minister level. I think it's the only way to get standards from coast to coast, to get services that meet those standards, to get information out, to start making laws relating to restitution actually work, to experiment and develop a way for the victim to actually participate.
There hasn't been much discussion today, but I strongly want to see what you actually started in Ontario. We need to do a lot more to stop people being victims of crime in the first place. We know what will reduce victimization through street violence by 50% or more. We know what to do about a lot of sexual violence. We don't have all the solutions, but we have lots of solutions, and that requires money. I'm proposing funding in the order of 10%, of which roughly half would go to victims, half to prevention.
This is not creating a huge bureaucracy. This is promoting a way to make lots of things happen in collaboration with the territories, provinces and indigenous people.
I want to see results. I want to see stuff measured so that we actually focus on the stuff and we don't get more bills of goods. You can see this from the U.S. You have all these constitutional things, but once you actually put money into it and you do it seriously.... You can look at England, where a minister is responsible for victims, and you see action. You see this in Australia and in New Zealand.
