Those who come forward with information will be expected to provide their name and contact information. In addition, they may also be called to testify in court. All calls to the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program will be traced and recorded.

"I am pleased that we have fourteen new cases added to our Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program," said Justice Minister Murray Scott. "We hope that this program will encourage individuals who may have pertinent information to come forward and that we will be able help ease some of the uncertainty and grief faced by victims' families and friends."
