Thank you, Chair.
Welcome back, Minister.
Let's talk about access to justice for a moment. You talked about that in your remarks. Access to justice is a subject that is very important and dear to me. In 2014, in Nova Scotia, we set up the Nova Scotia access to justice co-ordinating committee, which was co-chaired by the then minister of justice and also by the then chief justice of Nova Scotia.
Of course, meaningful access to justice for all Canadians, particularly Black and racialized Canadians, is something that I take to heart, as I know you do. I represent many distinct African Nova Scotian communities and racialized communities in Halifax West.
Aside from appointing judges, which is one small aspect of it, can you please tell me what the federal government is doing and what your office is doing to improve access to justice in the country?
