Thank you, honourable members of the finance committee, for inviting us to be here today.
My name is Mark Farrant. I'm the founder of the Canadian Juries Commission, a not-for-profit representing Canadians serving on jury duty and on coroners' inquests. I founded this organization based on my experience as a juror on a first-degree murder trial that left me shattered and living with PTSD, depression and anxiety.
I'd like to introduce my colleague and friend, Tina Daenzer, who will speak for a moment.
