Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his well-thought-out speech. I was really pleased to see that the Liberals support the need for this victims bill of rights and its underlying principles, though I am a bit puzzled as to why they did not take any action on this while they were in government.
Does the member agree that the victims bill of rights should have been accompanied by the funding necessary to provide for implementation of the complaints mechanism it provides and also funding to provide actual support for the victims?
