Mr. Speaker, I was glad to hear the member talk about victims. Of course, that is some of the premise of this bill.
I want to ask him a question on the topic of victims. The position of Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime is still vacant. That position has been vacant now for approximately nine months, so someone to speak up for victims and hear their voices is not at the table.
I am wondering if the member has any thoughts on that and if he can provide us any information today as to when that position might be filled.
