Thanks, Mr. Garrison, for the question.
Indeed, we're hoping that today is a historic day. We're hoping that the Senate does get to a vote on Bill C‑5 later this evening.
I think it will have a positive impact. The visible presence of laypersons within the system leads to potentially greater diversity as well as increasing the diversity within the judiciary and in particular the Canadian Judicial Council. We appointed recently the first indigenous chief justice in Canada in addition to the first indigenous member of the Supreme Court. The first indigenous member from the Northwest Territories, the first chief justice, will sit as part of the Canadian Judicial Council, part of the CJC, which is critically important.
We hope there will be others representing the face of Canada, if you will, the diversity of Canada. All of that helps, in its own way, in fighting overrepresentation, and it certainly helps increase the legitimacy of the Canadian judicial system.
