Mr. Speaker, I am particularly moved by this year's theme for National Victims of Crime Awareness Week: “We All Have a Role”.
We are taking responsible, concrete action to support victims of crime.
That is why we support the private member's bill introduced by the hon. member for Selkirk—Interlake, Bill C-478, Respecting Families of Murdered and Brutalized Persons Act.
As part of the awareness week, a symposium dedicated to victims of crime against the person will begin today in Quebec.
A number of guest speakers will join over a hundred victims who can draw on their personal experiences to help come up with solutions during the various workshops planned over the course of the weekend.
Canadians know they can count on our Conservative government to ensure their safety and peace of mind.
