I think things like the exchange I had with Mr. Lawton on providing not only clarifying language but also direction on how certain principles ought to be applied is a healthy start. I do think we would be kidding ourselves if we said that any one particular law, in and of itself, will solve all these problems. We need to complement the measures that we put into the Criminal Code with collaboration with provincial counterparts to ensure that as rules change, there are training resources put in place and we actually have the capacity for people to meet the demands on a system that is under pressure with the volume it's facing right now.
Through continued engagement, bringing together the different provinces and territories with the federal government, making sure we're continually engaging with not just with lawyers and judges and court administrators but also law enforcement, municipalities and provincial governments, we can bring everyone on the same page and pull in one direction more effectively.
