I have really big hopes.
I don't know that the committee is big enough. It's clear that the CCRA is not fulfilling the needs of victims of crime, and I think it's very clear that victims' rights are so limited in Canada. In the CVBR itself, about 30% of the text is dedicated to disclaimers on when the rights shouldn't apply.
We have to do better. My hope is that this working committee can help with CSC's policies—make them more victim-centred and trauma-informed—but there's a lot more work that needs to happen in Parliament if we actually want to take these concerns seriously.
