Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll turn to the lawyers representing Rebâtir.
In France, lawyers represent not only the Crown and the accused, but also the victim.
In my previous life, I was a journalist and I saw many criminal trials. I always felt that the victims had no voice. People were available to help them understand the process. However, they didn't have access to a person with the necessary skills to advocate on their behalf and convey what they needed to remain safe.
What do you think of this idea? How could a similar mechanism be implemented to enable victims to express their needs here in Canada?
