Mr. Speaker, this week is the seventh anniversary of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week.
All members know of a family in their riding that has fallen victim to a crime. Our hearts go out to the victims and survivors. During Victims of Crime Week, Canadians consider how our society can help victims of crime move forward.
This week across Canada, we salute and thank the countless professionals and volunteers who respond to the call to help victims of crime move forward. Canadians can visit www.victimsweek.gc.ca to access these services. In the hours following a dreadful tragic crime, these Canadians help those suffering through their darkest hours. These brave and compassionate Canadians show up to stand with the victims.
Our Conservative government is proud to support and stand with those who work with victims of crime and try to maintain hope for the future and the rebuilding of lives in the aftermath of criminal acts.
