Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It's a great pleasure to have Dr. Waller here. We were just exchanging that as a criminal justice instructor, I used much of his research in my teaching and we sent students from our program to study with him.
It's a great pleasure to have you here today.
I want to continue the discussion on the idea of restitution versus the distinction between restitution and compensation. It's a question I asked the victims ombudsman. If the focus is on repayment by the offender, I have a worry or a concern that victims will end up with differential treatment. In other words, if your offender is someone with resources and who takes responsibility, then the person is likely to receive coverage for their losses. But if the person is of few resources or turns out to be someone who resists taking responsibility and accountability, those victims would end up without compensation.
I just wonder if you have some thoughts on that dilemma.
