Mr. Speaker, we will await the report of the committee which is hard at work on that subject now.
Yesterday the committee heard moving and important testimony from victims on what is needed. Let the committee report and then the government will respond.
I will not allow the hon. member to challenge my commitment or the commitment of the government to the interests of victims. We sit in the House every day, most of us, and watch members of the Reform Party shamelessly exploit the tragedy of others, shamelessly exploit the sadness of victims. It is a sad and frankly a disgusting spectacle.
We have shown by action over the last 3.5 years that we are prepared to step up and act where necessary to improve through legislation the justice system for victims.
Members opposite should bear in mind that we take a back seat to no one when it comes to commitment to victims.
