Thank you very much, Chair. I want to thank all the witnesses today for their presentations.
I'm going to start with Professor Waller, if I may. Thank you again for being there. You and I have had many conversations around rights of victims, and you've been quite helpful to me in my previous roles at the provincial level in helping guide the work that we did in reforming the Police Services Act and looking at things like crime prevention and community safety and well-being planning.
I have read, if not all your books, at least two, I think, so thank you for giving me those copies. They've been quite instructive to me.
You started your presentation by talking about how the current victims bill of rights at the federal level is “inadequate”, I think was your word. Can you speak to some of the gaps, in your view, that exist in the current legislation?
