Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Through the courts, under the Criminal Code and Victims of Crimes Act, the judiciary has the right to impose fines against people who are convicted and to direct these funds to the victims' assistance funds. I couldn't say exactly how much is received on an annual basis. It is my understanding that the victims' assistance fund has a balance of $336,000 as of March 31, 1996. Thank you.
