Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“I want an answer to my question. Victims should have a choice in what happens, and I want to know why this bill does not give them that choice.”
“Mr. Speaker, we agree on that, as I said in my speech. The question I asked my colleague opposite, to which I have not yet received an answer, is the following: Why not retain the flexibility to give victims a choice? In any crime, in any unfortunate event that can happen, the most important person is the victim. That person’s choice and free will should always come first. I do not understand, and I imagine that my colleague does not have an answer for me because he did not give me one.”
