Thank you to the minister.
Minister, there are some changes proposed that would allow for remote audio or video conferencing to be added to the code. I'm wondering if you could explain how the rights of the accused to cross-examine the witnesses can be safeguarded and how the whole process would work.
In particular, I think we have many courtrooms that are not equipped with video conferencing capabilities. It's probably fine in large urban areas, but in many parts of the country I'm not sure how you intend that to roll out.
