Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Effendi, thank you for being here and for speaking so eloquently this morning.
I'm a member from Quebec. No one in my province has any problem appearing before a court or obtaining legal services in French.
In Ontario, I believe the more than 600,000 Franco-Ontarians can obtain the services of a French-speaking lawyer without a problem. However, what about the courts and the judiciary? Is it easy to get a fair trial in French and to find a judge who speaks that language? Is there a list of francophone judges?
