Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for their testimony today.

Mr. Lacy, you spoke at length about the proposed jury selection process, and about getting rid of peremptory challenges in Bill C-75. Yesterday we heard from an indigenous organization that spoke in favour of getting rid of the peremptory challenges, but you outlined that it would not have the impact that we want it to have here in terms of diversifying the jury selection.

I'm not sure if you had the chance to go over what their arguments and reasoning were.
