That's a legitimate point. I think one of the things the committee should consider is making some of these amendments proclaimed in force in a province only when the province has had time to prepare for it. Our jury selection is a very complex system, so a number of the amendments that I make would have implications for the province. I gather that's why the government did not take a more robust approach to reforming the jury.
However, if we wait for each province and territory to get on board, it's just never going to happen. We need federal leadership. One way it can be accommodated is to say that if you use a voters list, as in Alberta and perhaps in Nova Scotia, obviously that's not going to work for a permanent resident, so you would give a kind of transition period, a couple of years for the province to adopt a better, more inclusive jurors list.
