Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his continual support of our justice agenda.
As part of a government that is committed to supporting victims, we created the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime. We committed $52 million over four years to help federal, provincial and territorial governments respond to a variety of needs of victims of crimes. I have to tell members how pleased I was to see an additional $6.6 million in the 2010 budget.
I am proud to be a member of the only political party that will stand up for victims in this country.
