Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to direct my question to Mr. Olsen. It seems to me that truly equitable compensation can really only occur when all parties are working together. It appears to me that the current approach is rooted in an adversarial system, and in my opinion, it's time to change that system.
As many know, I was a lawyer in private practice for 25 years before being elected to government. Although I didn't practise in the area of labour and employment law, I certainly had many partners who did. I suppose I benefited indirectly from their many great efforts and long efforts on behalf of some of their clients over the years.
I wonder if you could comment on some of the court cases that have occurred in the past, and specifically on how long they have lasted, how much money has been spent on lawyers and such other fees--and I hope my former partners aren't watching this evening.
