Well, sir, if I could refer you, in the English version, to page 5 of our submission, specifically in the middle paragraph, it says, “Where an offender is transferred back to Canada to serve a sentence, authorities will also know whether that person requires continued intervention or monitoring by the state after sentence expiry”; that paragraph deals with victims. Note 14 specifically refers to peace bonds. We also put in the submission that victims will be able to have some input into the situation.
For example, where a person is under the parole authorities or about to be considered by them, the parole authorities can contact the victim of the offence, which would be especially important in a domestic situation, and the victim of the offence could say he wanted reintegration with that person or that he wanted nothing to do with that person, that he felt he was still in danger from that person and required continued protection. That is certainly part of our presentation to you, and it is very much a part of the Bar Association's position.
