I think it could be. In Bill C-10 there is, I think, more of an emphasis on encouraging offenders, as part of their correctional plan, to repay restitution orders and victim fine surcharges and those kinds of things.
I know that the Province of Saskatchewan has a program whereby the province provides assistance to victims, not in federal prisons, but just overall, in getting offenders to repay restitution orders. There is a lot of innovative work being done in North America and abroad that I think promotes restitution going to the victims, which can increase their satisfaction with the process but also can encourage offenders to take responsibility.
One of the benefits of restorative justice programs, and what we know from programs in which victims and offenders have a dialogue, is that restitution is much more likely to be paid. Offenders understand the harm they have done. They often have to face the person they've hurt, and they appreciate what it actually is that they are paying for, and that it's not going just to the government, but to the actual person. That has a profound effect on offenders.
