Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have to agree with you, Mr. Morrison, on this one.
Mr. Cooper, I want to congratulate you for sponsoring this. I really do.
Mr. Farrant, thank you very much for your advocacy. As someone who practised law for 22 years before I went into provincial politics, I had a number of people come to me who were scared to death when they got the letter in the mail that they would have to go and be on a jury. They had no idea what that meant. This was before they even stepped into a courtroom. Most of these people had never been in a courtroom in their life; they were trying to figure out how to get themselves out of this, whether they had to do this, and all of that. I have never had the occasion for anybody to come back after though. I can only imagine the horrific things they would hear at some of the trials. Just from listening to you now, I know this is a no-brainer, but I have to confess that it's not something I would even have thought about.
For those who preceded me, Mr. Cooper and whoever else in the last number of years, really, congratulations, because this is what we are here for as parliamentarians—to improve the lives of Canadians, and in this case of the jurors whom we really need.
Mr. Farrant, you talked about provinces that offer support programs. Quite frankly, I don't know which ones do or don't. What can you see after the passing of the bills? What are a couple of things you would like to see provinces and territories and perhaps the federal government do to support jurors?
