In the communities I represent, the case is usually that the plane comes in with the court party and they are shuttled off to the facility that is going to be used as a court room. There is a quick consultation period, then the court proceeds. There is never, at least from my understanding, somebody who is present to translate. Very often there is no court worker in the community. Our services come from a different riding. I would like to ask the Minister to tell this Assembly how the courts determine translation requirements for court dates in the communities. Thank you.
