A well-functioning, respected system of justice is the wellspring of a strong, free and democratic society. We must strive every day to improve it. It has been my experience that it is easier to set goals than to attain them. But I am convinced we can achieve even our highest aspirations. We must find more innovative ways to resolve our disputes. We must find our way to a justice system that is transparent, accessible and responsive to the needs of Canadians. To do this, we need to see the justice system through the prism of those who have the greatest stake in its success: the Public.
