That is a difficult question.
You have raised an important problem. We cannot help but be moved by the situation of these children and spouses. We have a responsibility to put programs in place to help these people, which might fall under Correctional Service Canada, for example. As far as including them as victims in the CVBR, we do not see that in other bills of rights or in other countries. It would call for more in-depth consideration.
At first glance, I would say that we first have to think of programs designed to help them and initiatives to implement locally and in all the provinces.
What you are saying does not really correspond to the definition of a victim. The definition of a victim would have to be reviewed and there would have to be a thorough discussion about this. There may be other solutions that could be used to reach the same goal without including them in the CVBR.
