Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a very important question about one of the criticisms directed at this bill.
The government says that it wants to give victims more information and let them know about the parole hearings held for people who have committed crimes. The criticism was that this will not change anything about the fact that victims who want the information will be required to register and state explicitly that they want the information. The government could have chosen to make the process automatic, thereby dispensing with the need for victims to register in order to receive information.
Does my colleague think that this is something we could discuss further in order to ensure that victims can get the information without having to go through a process to request it?
