On the recordNovember 13, 2013
Mr. Chairman, we had one witness; the majority had three witnesses. Ours had to try to explain the legal effects. The fact is the proponents of the bill who claim it is for the victims should have had the right to have the victims be there. The special procedure they had was an in camera hearing not on the record. That is not right. If you want to propose something for the victims, you give them an opportunity to testify on the record--and they all opposed the bill to a one.
