Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to start by congratulating you on your election as chair. I have no doubt our meetings will go well and that you will exercise your role wisely and respectfully. For that, I thank you.
Ms. Lapointe, thank you for introducing this bill. Indeed, I must say that your concerns about supporting community organizations that help victims is something we in the Bloc Québécois truly share. As you know, there are many organizations in Quebec that support victims throughout the process after a complaint has been filed and the legal proceedings the victims must endure, and god knows these organizations need funding. We fully agree. We have repeatedly asked the government to transfer funds to the provinces to help them meet the needs of organizations.
We share your goal. We may disagree on the means to achieve it, but we will come back to that. If I may, I will put my questions to the department's counsel.
Ms. Wells and Mr. Godlewski, you will figure out who can respond, but I would like you to tell me how to prove these damages if a complaint is filed.
