Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for appearing today.
One of the things I've learned listening to the study so far is how we force jurors to cut themselves off from normal support systems. I know we face that sometimes as members of Parliament as well, and so for full transparency, I have part of my support system here today with me. It's my mom, Shirley, who's in the room from Alberta.
I want to ask some questions about resources, because if we're lucky, we could see changes to legislation come out of this study.
We're going to make a call for resources. Those need to get into people's hands, and I've asked some of the other witnesses how long it would take for this system to get ready to handle the jurors who would need to seek psychological support. Ms. De Moura, yours was compelling testimony level 10, so thank you very much.
In 2015 Alberta was the first province to provide a support system for jurors, and it includes counselling that's available to jurors during the trial and after. There are also mechanisms for exceptional measures to address the needs of former jurors. Would that type of a program have helped you in your process as a juror?
