Justice committee I will speak in French first and then in English. Basically, I want to make three points.

Justice committee First, it is the association's position that we need an approach that fully meets the needs of the victims; the need of the victims for information is certainly recognized here. It also recognizes that there are major gaps in support and financial assistance for victims and also

Justice committee As our first point, to a certain extent, we feel that it would be preferable for this bill to have been set in a broader context of support, and to have as a strategy the protection of and support for people who are victims of crime and, specifically, a broader strategy of fighti

Justice committee My three points are essentially these. Number one is the necessity that this act should be framed in the context of a larger strategy on mental health.

Public Safety committee I would say a couple of things about these provisions. Number one, as you know, the definition of terrorist activities is at the Supreme Court now and being debated as to whether it's too wide or not.

Public Safety committee Being committed to fairness and the Constitution, and ensuring that truth is the end result—I think that is the commitment we should have to both victims and offenders. The fairness, the legitimacy, of the system—the way people will cooperate with it, in the knowledge that they w

Nathalie Des Rosiers
Public Safety committee Yes, that's true, certainly. I'm saying that for the benefit of the Canadian public, I think your job as parliamentarians is to ensure that this teaching is not lost. My suggestion is that you should make sure that it's in the bill. It increases the transparency of it and—

Public Safety committee I think one of the issues would be whether the re-enactment of the provision will require judicial clarification. Why not prevent this going all the way up again?
