Mr. Speaker, any discussion about victims and crime should also include the provinces. Justice and law enforcement are basically under provincial jurisdiction, aside from the RCMP. Therefore, it is essential that we consult the provinces about any legislation regarding justice and victims' rights.
Victims need to be protected. This issue is very important to me and to all New Democrats.
What approach does my colleague think the government should take in consulting with the provinces on legal matters and the protection of victims' rights?
