Mr. Speaker, imagine being a victim of Canada's worst ever mass shooting where 23 lives were senselessly taken, including that of a baby. The federal government has promised an advocate. For seven months the position of the federal ombudsman for the victims of crime remains unfilled. It has not been filled in due time as promised by the Minister of Justice. Despite the efforts of the Mass Casualty Commission, affected families have nowhere to turn because of this unfilled vacancy. When will the minister do right by the families, all Nova Scotians and many others affected, and appoint a victims advocate?
