Mr. Speaker, everyone must pay for those people, even the families.
While the government continues to grandstand and boast that it is helping victims of crime, the budget of the ombudsman for the victims of crime is about to be cut and half of the money in the criminal injuries compensation fund was not distributed in 2009-10, despite the tremendous needs of families, support groups and non-government organizations.
Why is this government spending so much on criminals and so little on resources to help victims and their families?
