Mr. Chairman, I did speak to the Standing Committee on Legislation and indicate to them that discussions are under way between Transportation and Justice in terms of what is expected, particularly the justices of the peace. I am told that there are three or four appeals a year. It isn't a large amount. If there was a difficult case, we have the ability to appoint a special adjudicator who would be able to handle that. Thank you.

I understand what the Minister is saying, but if the adjudicators are going to be the JPs we have in the system, I would assume that some sort of training program should be in place prior to this bill coming into effect. The JPs are the ones the department is currently leaning towards using as adjudicators. If they aren't trained in this area, Mr. Chairman, then we are going to run into problems, although our appeal cases could be three or four a year. It is still going to create that problem if they aren't properly trained. I would like to ask the Minister if we are going to have a specific training program in place prior to this bill coming into force? Thank you.

We believe that the JPs have sufficient expertise. There are some discussions under way with the Department of Justice when the JPs meet to talk about this issue, but there is no specific training program in place.
