Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you, Minister and officials, for being here today.
Minister, I appreciate your three-pillar strategy of stronger criminal laws, investment in frontline enforcement and upstream supports in addressing the prevention challenges.
Can you help us—and Canadians, especially—understand where delays in courts fit in within these priorities that you've outlined in these pillars?
Also, on the jurisdiction of the federal government, what can the federal government do and what is the responsibility of the provincial government?
