Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Ferrant, I was there in October 2017 when you appeared before the justice committee and gave very powerful testimony along with other jurors, and I was proud of the fact that we came together as a committee unanimously with, as you put it, a groundbreaking report on enhancing juror supports, the first parliamentary study and the first report of its kind.
You noted that despite a great deal of consensus, we unfortunately haven't seen a whole lot of action three years later.
You spoke of the fact that nowhere in the budget was there mention of jurors. I would further note that recommendation 10 spoke of the need for one-time federal funding to the provinces and territories to implement the recommendations in the report.
Could you speak to that, and more broadly the need for federal leadership? Would you agree that leadership and funding are all the more necessary in light of COVID?
