I listened to the member attentively, and I want to thank him for the compassion and care that he has for workers across the province, but especially in his riding in London. I know that there are some good amendments that are being made in the legislation.

One of the things I wand to specifically talk about is schedule 8, which I think is done with the intention of creating efficiency.

A few months ago, we found out about the decision to close down our courts in Scarborough. Everything will be moved to downtown Toronto. A lot of people, especially people in the legal system, were outraged because we know the type of community members we have and the difficulty they have when it comes to travelling, for example, and the type of cases that we face. So I want to see if the member has any remarks about that—especially when we’re talking about investment in our court system and efficiency within our court system.
