Ontario's justice system to add more aboriginal representation.

Resolving aboriginal issues will no longer take a back seat in the courts of Ontario.

According to CBC News, the province's jury system will have more members from various sectors of the First Nation and Metis community.

This comes after the Ontario government asked former Supreme Court of Canada justice Frank Iacobucci to look into the lack of representation.

He discovered there was a case of 'systemic discrimination,' where access to justice and legal assistance have been long needed, especially in Northern Ontario. 

Nishnawbe Aski First Nation Deputy grand chief Alvin Fiddler co-chairs the panel of eleven members.

He's concerned at how a lot of First Nation and Metis people are jailed; and at the same time, excluded in participating in the justice system. 

He hopes that the Iacobucci report will bring to a fair trial in Ontario's courts.  

The panel's implementation committee is meeting this week-end to make it's next course of action. 

The reform in the jury roll comes in line with Aboriginal awareness week.
