I don't know whether you have read the testimony given by Kim Pate concerning the complexity and difficulty of preparing an application for judicial review, a faint hope application. She said the Correctional Service provides assistance, but recently the time needed for filling out and completing the file to obtain the documents with the application has been much longer than before. She is really afraid of the consequences if the government does not agree, for example, to extend the 90-day deadline or to allow the judge to have discretion to extend the deadline in cases where the inmate has not been able to get all the documents needed.
Based on your experience, do you think the process is not easy? You say you are starting to provide assistance only 12 months before the date. So I would like to know what information you have about how much time it takes, about the complexity, and for you to tell us whether there has been a change, recently, in terms of the time it may take.
