Réal Ménard at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I have three questions for Mr. Fraser and two for Ms. Aucoin.

First, congratulations on your appointment. This is the first time you have appeared before this committee since your appointment. I wish you all the best.

Could you remind us of the provisions, particularly for Quebec, dealing with the administration of justice and the right to legal services? What is the situation?

I am very interested in the part of your brief that says that subsection 530(6) could alter the discretion of the judge to order that a trial be held in one language or the other or in both. I would like you to give me more information about that.
