I have before me an email from the Association of Justice Counsel, which is the lawyers in the Department of Justice, suggesting that there is no evidence the amendments before us will shorten trials. Ms. Corriveau seems to have confirmed the lack of data in this regard. For example, the PPSC, which is represented here today and is responsible for the prosecution of drug offences, criminal organizations, terrorism, and environmental polluters, as well as the North, states that the impact will be negligible. They say the federal government has failed to adequately resource the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, and while the provinces kept pace by hiring additional prosecutors, the federal government has actually underfunded the PPSC, the result of which is that most offices have had to cut their budget by 7.5% and effectively freeze hiring. That means fewer rather than more prosecutors, and no impact, if not a negative impact, in respecting Jordan.
I'd like your response to that.
