As I said, I tend not rank these things in order. I think that doing justice is a pretty complex thing to do. It has many facets and many dimensions. My own experience in working in this field for 30 years is that I've never seen two cases that are exactly the same, with the same set of circumstances. I've heard from victims who have a variety of needs and wants, and often those needs and wants are not for tough, harsh responses but for compassionate responses, responses that are going to be helpful and preventative.
There are a variety of things. I think it's necessary to try to hold them all in your hand at the same time and then think things through.
Frankly, I've spent the last 12 years of my professional life trying to be absolutely apolitical about these things and not see them in terms of Liberal or Conservative or New Democrat or anything else. It's interesting to me that the CCRA, which I value so much as a piece of legislation, was actually put into place by a Conservative federal government. Those principles about the least restrictive measure and the role of corrections in a just society were brought into law by the Mulroney government. I don't think of these things as right-left issues.
