Mr. Sullivan, from the work you've done on behalf of victims and with victims, can you tell us a bit about what it means to victims—even the psyche of being a victim—to have, for example, a government not recognize that an offender should be held accountable by way of being asked to pay restitution? We've heard some testimony that some judges aren't always awarding restitution, and then there's a problem, because obviously you can't collect what hasn't even been awarded.
It's not about the money, because money can never repay or redo the harm that has been done to victims. But I think there's a message that has been sent in the past, and I think it is one of the things this bill is trying to change. The message has been that offenders, because of where they are located, aren't necessarily under the same rules as the rest of Canadians, even in terms of their civil obligations to pay debts.
Can you explain to us, from the work you've done, what it would do for a victim to know that if a restitution order has been placed on the offender and the offender comes into money, it would be paid to them?
