Well, thank you for the questions. I would like to acknowledge you also, as the predecessor in this role.
To the first point, acknowledging the work that the native court workers across the country continue to undertake, the $4 million a year is a top-up acknowledging the work that they do in assisting aboriginal access to justice.
I have a note here with respect to the court worker program. There are 176 court workers providing services to approximately 64,330 indigenous clients in 435 communities.
To your point with respect to our commitment on legalization of marijuana and strictly regulating access to marijuana, we are committed to ensuring that we take a comprehensive approach to the legalization, which would ensure that we decriminalize the use of marijuana while at the same time ensuring that we keep to our ultimate objective, which is to keep it out of the hands of children and keep the proceeds out of the hands of criminals.
I'm working with my colleagues, the Ministers of Health and Public Safety, and Parliamentary Secretary Blair, to ensure that we put in place a comprehensive framework that will provide the regulatory framework to ensure that we achieve our objectives.
These will go hand in hand. We are very much looking forward to launching a task force of experts, who will be engaged in providing recommendations around legalization and putting in place a regulatory framework with respect to marijuana. Those experts will include experts in the area of health, public safety, law enforcement, and justice.
