All of this is very technical. We understand and appreciate that. I am seeking clarity, however, on an aspect relating particularly to persons who may be sentenced here and serving the sentence in another jurisdiction. What consultation will take place with the victims of the crime in such circumstances? It is an issue that is often raised and I am seeking clarity on it. Perhaps the matter is addressed somewhere in the bowels of the Bill that we have not yet reached. I would appreciate it if the Minister of State were to provide clarity on the issue.
