I think we have to respect how Canada is organized. I think that we can do this. In the Criminal Code—there was only one in Canada, because it falls under federal jurisdiction—under procedural law, we could include information on everyone’s roles, including victims’ participation and rights. We could establish who is responsible for doing what; if a task falls under the responsibility of the police or the prosecutor, for instance. To some extent, I think we could add elements to the Criminal Code. It was one of my recommendations, even before the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights was passed, to ensure a certain consistency from one end of the country to the other, so that all Canadian victims of crime have the same rights.
On that level, I think something could be done through the Criminal Code.
