The provinces and territories did not ask us to carry out such an assessment. In most cases, it must be pointed out that according to the area of jurisdiction, there are very few trials in the minority language. Therefore, the additional costs for them, if there are any, are minor. In fact, they recognize that it is not an issue of additional costs resulting from this bill, but indeed a recognition of existing costs for the implementation of the Criminal Code as it stands.
