I agree with your assessment of crime across Canada. You gave various examples. This bill specifically deals with the most heinous and gruesome criminals. It is focused very much on that. I do agree that victims and families should be put ahead of criminals. I believe very much that this bill does exactly that.
I don't really know what else to say beyond that. That is certainly the goal. I think that it will achieve that. We've also seen that in Bill C-48.
You spoke about the court process protecting families. Though not related to this case, my own daughter's boyfriend was murdered. I went with her to trial every day for a fairly long period. The courts were very sympathetic and supportive, but the process can be particularly challenging for families. I have a small window into what families are dealing with in these types of cases, but I wouldn't begin to imagine what they're going through.
Regardless of the supports there that you receive, the sympathies that you receive from the Crown and defence prosecutors, and the understanding that they give—I'm not knocking them in any way, because they are positive—it still can be particularly tough on those families.
