Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses who are here today. We are grateful to them, even though we hope for the day when they will no longer need to come because we no longer need to study this kind of issue.
My first question is for Ms. Wells.
You talked about restorative justice programs. In my riding, there is an organization that carries out restorative justice activities with adolescents, under the Young Offenders Act. We sometimes get the impression that a restorative approach is more effective with a young person.
I would like to hear what you have to say about the possibility of applying this kind of measure with older aggressors. Can we hope that it will work, in spite of everything?
In any event, can that be a good thing for the victim as well?
