Mr. Speaker, I get the sense from the minister that there is a lot of urgency in this matter going forward. In fact, numerous constituents have contacted me with regard to their concerns about restitution for victims. They do not feel included in the system and they do not feel their needs are being met.
Could the minister please share his experience? I know he has travelled right across this country meeting with victims and associations to raise these concerns.
Could he please talk about the urgency of the bill and the need to apply restitution to victims?
