I am working very closely with my counterpart, the Minister of Public Safety. We have, and will continue to advocate for the necessary resources in order to achieve the changes that we're seeking in terms of the criminal justice system.
Likewise, I've been working very closely, as have my officials, with my counterparts in the provinces and territories, recognizing that the administration of justice is a shared responsibility. I'm very pleased with the common priorities we've identified in terms of substantive and bold measures that we can take to reduce delays. These include preliminary inquiries, mandatory minimum penalties, administration of justice offences, and bail reform.
Judicial case management has potential areas we can look at as well. We've had discussions around the federal-provincial-territorial table on how we can do better to recognize, address, and put in the necessary services, knowing full well this will require resources to substantively address those individuals who have mental health issues, addictions issues, or have fetal alcohol syndrome.
We also recognize that there are challenges that need to be addressed that aren't necessarily criminal in nature, but that we have to do better in matters of providing adequate housing for individuals to stay in, rehabilitate, and transition into the job market. This is a cross-government reality and approach, and a necessary commitment that our government has made. I look forward to working with you, and all members of this committee, as we roll out our broad criminal justice reforms.
