Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
I certainly understand the frustration and difficulty that his constituent would feel and that perhaps the hon. member himself must feel.
There is also another piece of legislation coming forward in this place very soon, Bill C-79. I think the issue of pardons, which makes this a rather unique situation where information such as that cannot be shared and cannot be considered by a court in the granting of a peace bond, which this particular victim is seeking, will be addressed better in that legislation than in the bill currently before the House.
A peace bond is certainly a discretionary instrument that a judge has at his or her disposal.
The issue itself of this person's security and her feeling of frustration in not having the information available to her and more importantly the court not having that information available to it in deciding whether or not she has a legitimate case, and obviously she does, to have a peace bond granted, I believe, will be addressed better by Bill C-79.
