Madam Speaker, I want to add my congratulations to the members of the Reform Party justice team, particularly the member for Langley—Abbotsford and the member for Surrey North who worked so hard on this issue. I know the member for Langley—Abbotsford has promoted the victims bill of rights for a long time. It is nice to see that it has come but it is unfortunate it has taken so long for the government to act.
The member has talked at length about the victims who have come in contact with him. One issue is the definition of a victim. It is there in this bill and it is defined. I would like the member's comments and thoughts on what the definition of victim should be.
