Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell the House about the Government of Canada's initiative to help victims in Quebec.
The Société de criminologie du Québec and the Regroupement d'étudiants: prévention et intervention touchant la santé et la sexualité de l'UQAM have received more than $50,000 in funding.
This funding will promote discussions among those working in the criminal justice system. It will also help to raise awareness of victims' needs.
In addition, through their assistance fund and work, these organizations help to build victims' trust in the criminal justice system.
