 We spend $1.4 billion every year on the justice system in British Columbia. Our crime rate is the lowest that it's been in three decades. And the number of cases that is going to court is down as well. And yet the cost and the amount of time that people are waiting for trial is continuing to increase. Cases are being stayed and delayed. It just doesn't add up. And we can do better, I believe, with the resources that we have. So that's why today we are announcing a justice reform initiative. Shirley Bond has been leading an extensive set of administrative reforms within her two ministries. These reforms are designed to bring efficiencies into the system and to reduce the pressure on the courts. It's very important, as the Premier pointed out, that we hear from members of the profession and stakeholders. That is why we're very pleased to welcome Jeffrey Cowper, a well-known and well-respected member of the Bar, to look at the system and to provide recommendations. I promise to bring an independent view to government and to the other participants in the system with respect to what achievable changes can bring the best results for British Columbia in the soonest period of time. Thank you.
