Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a couple of comments here. At committee we did have considerable discussion about whether or not the changes in the Jury Act would mean that French-speaking residents would be required for jury duty more often than any other resident and there was a concern, which I think at committee we were comfortable with it at the end. But I just wanted to express that concern to say that it is out there, and I encourage the Minister and the department to make sure in the implementation of these changes to the Jury Act that there are safeguards in there that someone who is French-speaking and also English-speaking would not be required to be on twice as many juries, for instance, as someone who is unilingual. I think the department is considering that, but I wanted to give voice to it. Thank you.
