I am interested. If you'd be willing to provide it to the clerk, I think all members of this committee—and, in fact, all parliamentarians—would benefit from reading LEAF's study of restorative justice models like the one you just described.

I agree that in some cases, restorative justice is a more appropriate and more validating model than going the full conventional criminal law route. I did want to validate that point of view.

There may be cases, however, where restorative justice is not available. Would you agree with that?
