Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have been testing this technological change for some time, now. We have learned along the way, so there has been some product adjustment in some of the technology that we use, but I can report that we have the recording equipment now installed in all of the courtrooms in the Yellowknife Courthouse, in Hay River, and Fort Smith, and soon we will have the same equipment in Inuvik.

We have also been testing portable equipment for the circuit court. The big change that end users will eventually see is, instead of having to wait for a court reporter to generate transcripts and charge, they can now get near immediately a digital recording of the proceedings and transcripts from that recording can be generated quicker and cheaper. So we do anticipate that there will be some appreciation for that enhanced service.

As the Minister noted, we do also anticipate there will still be an ongoing use of court reporting for, certainly, jury trials. There might be other trials where the use of a court reporter will continue, but we are still evaluating those options. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
