Mr. Daryl Churney at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Director, Corrections Policy, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

I will quote very briefly from the existing CCRA subsection 140(11), which states:

If a victim... is not attending a hearing, their statement may be presented at the hearing in a format that the Board considers appropriate.

That is a general sort of chapeau piece, which permits victims to submit their statements in writing or through video conference or audiotape.

See context to find out what was said next.
