Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here. They've given us a lot to think about.
Thank you for your comments, Ms. Lalonde. I know that you come from a rural area in Sudbury.
I would like to ask you about victim services. At the last meeting, Ms. Walker and Ms. Alexander talked about them. They said that there was intimidation and a lack of resources. They also said that prosecutors don't really work for victims.
Earlier, you said that there was still some confusion about the respective roles of the federal and provincial governments. You touched on some of the things that Mr. Ford said. Also, a lot of the witnesses don't want to talk about the role of the provinces. I completely understand that, since it is not up to victims to say which level of government is responsible.
That said, I would like to hear your assessment of the services provided to victims through the courts and prosecutors. I would also like to hear your comments on the roles the federal and provincial governments play.
What recommendations would you like to share with the committee?
