Streamlining the process and not clogging up our judicial system is a step in the right direction in protecting and saving resources. We get this identified on a fairly regular basis. Have a look at comments made by many people involved with the criminal justice system. Bills like this are steps in responding to the challenges that have been identified--specifically with respect to Code-LeSage and the Air India commission--and with what provincial and territorial attorneys general have raised with me. So this is a response to that.
