Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to follow up on my colleague's questions to the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, with regard to the legal interpreting program, it appears that an important concern in legal interpreting is consistency in language use, whether it's maintaining a high standard of interpreting or supporting and monitoring legal interpreters. The responsibility for addressing these concerns lies with the manager of the program.

I'd like to ask the Minister, can he explain why he indicated yesterday that, in deciding which position should be cut, it was decided that the manager's position was less important in maintaining the quality and consistency of the program than the administrative position. Thank you.
