We could spend all afternoon talking about the number of different things. I think this bill has a very specific focus. It's very targeted.
With respect to the discussion about the residential school settlements, I think that on a practical level that would be a very small problem. You would need to have a first nations person in federal prison who has a restitution order or victim fine surcharge and who also is getting a residential school settlement.
Victim fine surcharges are really small. For the most part, you're looking at $50 to $100. So if someone were to get an award and then someone would be required to pay that, it's a relatively small amount. Unless it's a white-collar crime, restitution orders are relatively small. They're focused on property.
These are not large amounts of money, so I'm not sure that would be a particularly big problem. I think we're looking at the back end of the system.
One thing I would agree with is around restorative justice. There's a program within the Correctional Service of Canada that does seek to bring victims who want to meet their offenders or have a discussion with their offenders about the offence.... I know families who have done that in homicide cases and sexual assault cases. That's an incredibly well-run program that is respected around the world. That's a very positive thing. The victims you speak to who choose to go through it—it's not for everybody, and I would hesitate to encourage people to do this, because it is very personal—report incredibly high levels of satisfaction with that process.
So I think those kinds of mechanisms, both within Corrections and beyond, and having our sentencing principles be more reflective of restorative principles.... It's actually talked about in the Criminal Code, but we don't actually see very much in practice.
