Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Thomas, thank you for really going into quite a lot of detail about the points you want to see included with a national access to justice strategy. I think your testimony is going to serve this committee really well in formulating its report and recommendations, and of course, you reference some reports that I know our analysts are certainly going to use.
I want to concentrate specifically on the area of family law, civil law. We've had a lot of testimony at this committee, a lot of presentations of the problems of having the money bundled up in a Canada social transfer, and there's a lot of finger-pointing between the two levels of government about whether it's funded or not.
Keeping in mind that the ultimate aim of this committee's project is to formulate recommendations to the federal government, I just want to hear how you envision this reform happening. We've heard concerns that the provinces might not like the federal government meddling in what are provincial affairs, but there is a template. We have the Canada health transfer, which allows the provinces to still have jurisdiction over health policy, but they have to meet several conditions if they want the federal money. Is that something that you would use as a template?
