Our petition is simply asking our government to afford the same rights and protections to victims of crime, committed by offenders deemed to be not guilty by reason of insanity, as any other victim of crime. This change will support better outcomes for future victims in this category and promote harm reduction and well-being.
If you would like to sign our petition, the link to the on-line petition can be found below.
Paper copies of our petition are located at: the Nelson Library, Collingwood Street Pharmacy and Age Concern in Richmond. Please stand up for equity and change.Thank you.
