Thanks, Chair.
I just want to point out, with regards to the proposed Liberal amendments, that the ATSSC will improve the services received by the tribunals it supports, including the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, the Canada Industrial Relations Board, and the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal, and will generate efficiencies. This will lead to an improved access to justice for Canadians.
The ATSSC will operate at arm's length from the Minister of Justice, the decision-making independence of the tribunals is protected as indicated in the legislation. And tribunals will continue to have access to all the expertise they require, and there will be no reduction in the protection given any confidential information they receive.
Thank you.
