Mr. Speaker, later today, I will distribute to Members of this Assembly, copies of a publication by the Fort Smith victim/witness assistance program entitled, Teenage Sexual Assault: What We Have To Say.
This booklet is the result of a three month public awareness project by the victim/witness assistance program, aimed at exploring questions pertinent to the youth in our communities who may have the unfortunate experience of becoming sexual assault victims.
The booklet contains workshop plans, discussion questions and a skit called, Conflict of Interest, which was written by the PW Kaeser High School drama club of Fort Smith. It was printed by the Uncle Gabe's Friendship Centre.
Sexual assault, as we all know, is a very serious crime. I am pleased that the Department of Justice is able to financially support the Fort Smith victim/witness assistance program in the provision of community-based services to victims of crime.
