Thank you for the question, Mr. Chairman.
The process is a simplified process. The application will be fairly simplified in terms of applying for an expungement.
Victims are asked to provide evidence that they meet the three criteria in terms of providing police records or court documents. We know these are offences that have been off the books for some time, so the convictions are quite dated. For that reason, we are also going to support the victims in terms of providing an opportunity for them to either come forward with a solemn declaration or an affidavit of evidence.
In addition, there are other measures that are being put in place. As part of the broader announcement that the Prime Minister put in place, there will be a toll-free number to help, for example, former members of the RCMP and National Defence, if they want to access support mechanisms.
