Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his intervention. I know he has spent considerable time working with victims groups across Canada, particularly in British Columbia.
I wonder if he would share with the House and with people who are watching at home the sense of frustration and bitterness and anger people feel once they realize the justice system is weighted much more toward the criminals and those accused of violent crimes than the victims of those crimes. Maybe he could share with us some thoughts and some flavour of the sentiments of people who have been deeply touched by violent crime.
