Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my hon. colleague as well, but I must tell him that I have been here for almost 10 years now, and I only started hearing the NDP talk about victims' rights in the last year or so.
He is right that funding is important. Codified rights are important as well. When the Liberals brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they did not bring in a Charter of Rights and Freedoms budget at the same time, but those rights matter.
