Dr. Irvin Waller at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'm going to give you a third thing.

I would bring the provinces together. I would tell them that these are joint areas and that you, federally, are going to do your job in the Criminal Code and the Youth Criminal Justice Act and are going to change the RCMP Act but that the most important way for victims to get restitution is for the provinces to start doing things differently. One of those would be to bring the criminal and civil jurisdictions together, as they did for family issues about ten years ago.
