My question is for the Attorney General. Crime doesn’t just affect victims immediately following an incident; trauma can negatively impact them for the rest of their lives, often requiring long-term support. The effects of traumatic events can have lifelong implications as well as a possibility of negatively affecting their families and larger communities. It’s imperative that our government stand up for victims of crime, not only through promoting public safety but also by providing them with the support that they need.

There are many heroic individuals and organizations throughout Ontario that provide support to those who have been victimized. Their dedication, advocacy and leadership make a positive difference in the lives of those they are helping. Can the Attorney General please share with us how we recognize these individuals and organizations that support people who have faced victimization due to crime?
