Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question also for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, I know the Minister is aware of how critical language is to our court system and how crucial it is that every person in court has the opportunity to be heard and clearly understood. That was confirmed in the Tran case in the Supreme Court of Canada recently, where the right of the accused to have a qualified and competent interpreter under section 14 of the Charter was clearly spelled out by the Supreme Court.
The legal interpreting program no longer has a manager. I would like to ask the Minister, without the support of a properly functioning legal interpreting program, who will ensure a consistent, competent legal translation service within the courts? Thank you.
