Okay. I know the Prime Minister has spoken to some of the victims. It might be helpful for you, just so that you're assured that my questions are not asked with political motivation, to hear directly from them that they do believe that governments have acted secretly and not in their best interests.
Moving on, given that your mandate also includes the Parole Board, I thought I'd just ask you another question on behalf of the victims of crime. This one is from Lisa Freeman, whose father was brutally murdered in 1991. She has said very clearly, and I think, has spoken on behalf of victims' families, that they want to be seen and to be heard. She and other victims' families were denied the right to present at parole hearings by video.
I know and I understand you did announce that your department is finally in the process of working on this now, although it probably was an issue that could have been anticipated. I'm only asking this in Lisa's own words. She says, “Why were you satisfied to have a paper hearing when you were aware that I couldn't attend because of COVID 6 months ago, and leave me waiting 3 weeks for an answer?”
