Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the member on his great work.
Listening to the member's speech, it seems to me that the bill has a dual purpose. It is not just to do what our government has been doing, and that is making victims a top priority, but perhaps also for the offender to develop a sense of caring, compassion and understanding in the rehabilitation process for redressing the harm he or she may have caused.
Can the member tell us whether that was something he was thinking about when drafting the bill?
