Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue for her very enlightening remarks.
I will be speaking about this bill later, and I must admit that I have mixed feelings on this topic. I feel hopeful, skeptical and perhaps even a bit of afraid of becoming disillusioned.
For eight years, the Conservative government has been bragging that it is the champion of victims. We saw it during photos ops and at press conferences. Although this bill does contain some good policy that I will of course support, it seems that there is still a huge gap between the stated objectives and the methods that will be used to attain them.
I would like to know whether my colleague shares my view and whether she too is worried that this will set victims up for disappointment?
