I'm sorry. For the sake of time.... Thank you.
Mr. Fraser, when you were delivering your opening speech you gave a very passionate reason for why it meant so much to you to obtain a pardon. I can see that. I can see why you want to have a pardon and have it be called a “pardon” and not a “suspension of record”.
On the flip side, not on your case specifically, but talking in more general terms about particular crimes, some people who are victims of crime would say that they don't forgive that person for the crimes. I think of a child who's been abused by a parent or something like that. They've had the scars and the emotional toll well into their adult life, and they don't forgive that parent or that person.
How does this committee deal with that? The crimes you've committed are very different from the acts somebody else has committed against, say, a child who is not forgiving. But others are forgiving. What do we do, in regard to the wording, with pardons and suspension of records?
