The Access to Justice in Both Official Languages Support Fund is a federal program administered by the Department of Justice Canada. One of its objectives is to help improve access to justice in both official languages across the country. As regards the subject of particular concern to us this morning, I would say that we are working on this matter in close cooperation with the provinces and territories in the context of a federal-provincial/territorial working group. We've supported initiatives advanced by a number of provinces. The purpose is to help them ensure that judicial personnel, the clerks and staff providing front-line service, are assisted and encouraged, at their request, to train people in the other official language.
For example, a particularly interesting initiative concerning provincial prosecutors is designed to improve the ability of those individuals to provide services in the other official language. In all these cases, the individuals must first be bilingual in order to undergo this development training. We hope to step up our efforts with our provincial colleagues in this area. At the request of provincial courts, we have supported the training of provincial court judges in certain provinces. That was the case in Quebec, that was recently the case in Alberta, and it's currently the case in New Brunswick.
