Thank you very much. I see we may be running a little low on time, so I'll be brief.
It's an honour for me to appear before you yet again this year. I appeared last March in my capacity then as interim executive director of the Canadian Judicial Council, and I think we attended one of the last meetings before COVID-19 hit in March.
With regard to the action committee, I would commend our website to you. The action committee has listed some core principles. The interesting thing about them is that because it's a collaborative effort, it has core principles from the public health perspective, from the judiciary's perspective and from the court administrator's perspective, so it honours judicial independence but is still able to collaborate.
We essentially do tip sheets, guidance for getting courts back to full operation. Jury trials have been identified in this connection, so we've shopped the country to see who's doing what best, and we're sharing that and coordinating it. We have looked at some case studies and best practices, coordinating those for the individual judges, chief justices, courts of all levels, court administrators and ultimately the people of Canada to get the courts running as efficiently as possible in the middle of this horrible pandemic.
Thank you.
