Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Justice, the Honourable Brendan Bell. Mr. Speaker, I don't know if the Minister has the ability, or the mandate, to affect this issue at all. I know he has probably received one written inquiry regarding it. It has to do with jury duty. Many times, when potential jurors are called, there is quite a large number that are called from which to select for jury duty. In the cases of sometimes certain businesses, or even in the case of teachers who are called, if you have a number of teachers called to report for jury duty on any given day, the number of substitute teachers, that pool, would be completely exhausted. I am asking the Minister, today, if he has any ability to affect whether or not the jury roster that is selected could avoid having quite a number of people from one particular profession, or one particular company? Thank you.
