Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's reassuring that this is being looked at. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, I've heard from a number of justices of the peace that plans are afoot to replace that position with that of a judge. While I recognize the value that judges may contribute to training justices of the peace, quite a lot of the function is administrative. There is recruitment, there is a lot of paperwork and personal contact and I fear if this is the route that is taken, it will detract from this. I would like to ask the Minister if they would take into consideration the administrative role when they are seeking a new trainer.
