I'll answer your question if I can, Mr. Fast, but I would say that my colleague here, Ms. Dekker, is the subject matter expert.
Essentially, Mr. Fast, the way the process works is that our department, the Department of Justice, sends out a call letter, if I may, to the jurisdictions. It's part of what we call a standardized process. We ask the jurisdictions to provide us with their requests for the upcoming year in terms of judicial complement. In that regard, we identify some criteria, such as caseloads and other factors.
Really, though, Mr. Fast, it's wholly within the purview of the provinces of the courts to provide us with whatever information they believe is necessary to support their businesses cases. When we receive that information, we work with them closely, I think I can say, to ensure that they essentially put their best foot forward, or we try to identify any gaps in information that we feel may be there. After we receive that information, assess it and work with the PTs, we in my section prepare legal advice that we pass on to the minister. Then the minister and his officials take that and make decisions, which we're not privy to at all, in terms of what complement should be provided to these courts based on their asks.
I don't know if that's enough for you, Mr. Fast. I could ask my colleague Ms. Dekker to add to that, if you'd like to hear anything more.
