Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for coming in and giving us a good presentation.

I have two questions with respect to the courts declaring laws to be contrary to the charter in recent years. Due to the frequency of those decisions in recent years, in which the courts have declared laws to be contrary to the charter, what are we to conclude about the efficacy of the section 4.1 reviews?

My second question is this. How can those reviews and that efficacy be improved so we have fewer laws being ruled contrary to the charter by the courts?
