Thank you for talking about our judicial appointments. I really appreciate it. I would again underscore that families come in all shapes and sizes, so thank you for your comments around that.
In terms of official languages—and I know that there are other members of this committee who are concerned about access to justice in both official languages—that is a priority for me and it definitely includes being a priority in terms of the family justice system.
With that in mind—and I wrote this down because I suspected you would ask this question around bilingualism—we have expanded the scope of our support programs for the purposes of bilingualism through the Canadian family justice fund. One of the fund's priorities is to extend the reach of the family justice program services and information to meet the needs of diverse and underserved populations, including official languages minority communities in Alberta and other places.
In budget 2018, our government also increased access to justice in both official languages by more than 25%. In addition to that, finally I would say that, again, we are working with the provinces and territories recognizing that provinces come in many different shapes and sizes. Since justice is a shared responsibility, we're working with the provinces to ensure access to justice as much as we can in both official languages.
