Mr. Speaker, some provinces would administer their own program. There would be some federal jurisdiction program administration plus some municipalities that would also administer their programs.
Let me tell members what people in my riding of Prince Albert in the province of Saskatchewan are saying. In fact, I will quote Gordon Wyant, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Saskatchewan. He said:
These changes will help strengthen our criminal justice system by providing greater protection for witnesses. We support the proposed improvements to the Witness Protection Program as yet another step in making our communities safer
This is what is happening in Saskatchewan and what they are saying there. They back this piece of legislation, and that is just another reason everybody else in this House should also back it.
