Thank you.
I think everyone around this table would agree that the number one priority of any government is obviously the safety and security of its citizens. That includes all citizens. We recognize that under the emphasis in our judicial system and within our parole board system and everything else connected, victims in this country have not really had what I believe to be fair information being given to them and a role to play. However, there are situations in which certain information has to be considered, for the safety of the public in general, and that includes the offender, if they are released.
I think that anyone on this committee, had we not suggested this amendment, would have raised this issue as a concern. I just want to leave it at that.
Thank you.
