Thank you.
I understood what the speakers said in both languages. However, I understand the need for French interpretation, especially since we are talking about access to services in French.
Ms. Dhillon, you asked why a situation like that could occur. It's a good question. The judge didn't explain the reasons in detail.
I can say that the issue exists in Sudbury as well. It's sometimes difficult to get interpretation services because there may be only two interpreters available in the whole city. An interpreter may not be able to get to court because of bad weather, such as a snowstorm. Another may be unavailable due to illness or for other reasons. Because the date and duration of a trial is set in advance, you can't do much about it.
It is very unfortunate, but it is neither fair nor acceptable. It's a systemic failure.
