Thank you very much.
Earlier this week, we heard some disturbing testimony from the Elizabeth Fry Society about the impacts of COVID on the legal rights of those who are incarcerated at this time. The witness talked about sustained lack of access to legal counsel. She talked about delays and problems with access to parole hearings. I had a separate meeting with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, who raised those same concerns.
I'd like to ask Mr. Lafond to comment on the impacts of COVID on the access to the legal system and to legal counsel for those who are already incarcerated.
