This is why I started by saying that the Law Society of New Brunswick supports the bill. I think both the bill and what we recommend could go along together in the sense that what we suggest will immediately provide at least some relief to the problem, I would say, because at least we would have someone being understood by the court. It doesn't mean we should not also maybe put into effect what is being proposed in this bill. You can have both of them, but at least you correct the problem or you're trying to bring a solution to the problem of their being understood without interpreters before the Supreme Court of Canada by at least insisting that they have to understand both official languages when they hear a case.
