Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In discussing this problem with advocacy groups in communities around the Northwest Territories, and, indeed, south of 60, I was advised that a Victims Impact Statement Program, in order to be successful, needs to have a strong advocacy group pushing its use. I suspect that part of the problem, in some of the small communities, where this pilot project is being used, is that there is not such a strong advocacy group there.
Will the Minister take a look at expanding the pilot project into other communities, if not Yellowknife, where there are advocacy groups who would encourage the use of the Victims Impact Statements?
