Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for joining us today.
Mr. Kettles, I'd like to start with you. I appreciate the comments you made. You talk about being in favour of eliminating the peremptory challenges. We've heard from some witnesses that peremptory challenges allow the opportunity to actually increase diversity in juries, and in fact they're used for that purpose.
Can you comment on your experience and whether you believe that to be something that actually happens, or is this something that doesn't happen very frequently and therefore getting rid of peremptory challenges would actually be the better way to go?
