Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for her question.
This government has invested significant funds in helping victims of crime. Two authorities are responsible for intervening when such crimes occur. The province, through its minister of social services, should help the victims, and the federal government also takes steps to protect victims of crime. I think that these authorities are well placed to guide seniors in their decision-making process.
I should also mention that if an incident is reported to the police, it is no longer up to the victim to decide whether to take the matter to court.
