The Globe and Mail
The loss of a family member is always a terrible loss, and nothing can fill that void, but when the death of a family member becomes a result of a criminal offense, there is cash compensation from the government. The Liberals allowed the Victim's Justice Fund surplus to build up to 34 million dollars, which means that lots of grieving families were not receiving compensation for their losses. I think that this vow of Hudak's that he will ensure that the money put aside for crime victim's would get to them, rather than grow as surplus, will grab, if not lots then some, the votes of those who have suffered from criminals. This section of government finance if one that becomes personal when people have suffered.
I think that this is a great idea , to give money to those that have lost so much from crime and violence. i wonder how much each family gets and if there are more the one member in the family dose the family get more money? overall i think this is a good idea
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful idea. These family have sacrifice so much and for them to receive money, is great. I still feel horrible for these families because no body can replace the person that pasted away. I hope these families stay strong and hopefully the money they get can help them in the future.

I also think it is a great thing to provide money to the families who lost a member due to a crime of violence. Even though nothing will really help the fact that their family member is gone, I think it is important they receive the financial compensation. It is a great idea and the government should have done this a long time ago. I wonder if the severity of the crime reflects the amount of money the family will get? This is very interesting to me because I saw many news articles that shows how the family suffers after the incident happened. The government is realizing the affect of these crimes do mentally, and financially to the family members of the victim.
