I would be happy to share any and all of my correspondence with those attorneys general and ministries. Some of the responses were that they hadn't heard from any jurors who complained, so they didn't think they had a problem in that province. I heard from jurors within that province who said they had been on a horrible trial and experienced no support, and that was 10 years ago.
I have heard provinces say that it would be costly and that they were concerned about the undue financial burden on the taxpayer this program might incur. I would always say that it's not about the cost of the program but about the cost of the lives we save as a result of the program being put in place. Prior to the program being introduced in Ontario, a juror in London, Ontario, took her life after a case involving the homicide of a child went to mistrial. If a program had been in place prior to that event, I'm certain that this person might have been saved.
