Mr. Mark Garrett:

I will make a quick additional point. All the other speakers have highlighted the practical issues associated with the delays. A common thread we are seeing in the work of the Law Society that applies to other access to justice issues across the board is the lack of investment in the court system in its totality. We have research that shows significant underinvestment in that area in this State. That applies not only to the number of judges but also to facilities in general. That is, I am sure, familiar to the committee. There are commitments in that regard but it is a significant point.
