Madam Chair, I think that alternative systems, like mediation, can be part of holistic approaches to dispute resolution with a view to addressing things through a lens of efficiency. But I do want to reaffirm the idea that something like mediation falls towards the kinds of tweaks that I want to caution the committee against, insofar as multiple people who have spoken today have described the extent to which the system is completely and, in many ways, catastrophically overwhelmed.
I don't know that adding or increasing avenues towards mediation is a proportionate response that would be able to comply with the constitutional obligations at play. I would say that while that could be one of various tools that could be added, I strongly suspect it would fall short of the systemic change needed to bring dispute resolution within Canada back under constitutionally required thresholds.
