Thank you for the question. It's a pleasure to have you at this committee.
As to the further bogging down of the family justice system, I will answer that by reference to a number of tools we're working on to provide information and resources not only to self-represented litigants but also to individuals, legal agents and lawyers involved in the family justice system.
Of course, our department is going to work very diligently to provide information and materials to the public on the various aspects of Bill C-78. We are in the process of working on that and will do so in conjunction with our colleagues in the provinces and territories, who are also responsible for the shared administration of justice in the family courts.
Beyond that, I'm pleased that in the previous budget we were able to receive endorsements for 39 new judges, who will comprise an expansion of the unified family courts in four jurisdictions, which will help to streamline the process. By introducing changes to the Divorce Act and the other acts, we are updating and modernizing the acts. We have been doing so in concert with my colleagues in the provinces and territories. I look forward in the next week to sitting down with my colleagues to discuss Bill C-78 and the tools we are going to be making available.
