I think your idea is interesting, but it would be quite challenging in this country to find a panel of perhaps ex-judges who were representative. We'd need to find former aboriginal judges, former judges of colour, women judges, and judges with disabilities who have the necessary qualifications to actually adjudicate. That would probably be quite challenging, and that's unfortunate. It might be worth considering for the program in an advisory capacity; I don't know.
