You've asked a very big question there, sir.
Certainly the criminal justice system is chronically underfunded. We are losing section 11(b) cases because courts are taking too long to complete a case. The case is therefore stayed by the court. These human trafficking cases are very complex.
One thing I have not heard discussed yet is that very often it's not one person who is charged with human trafficking; it will be several. Recently I've had a number of cases where there have been four defendants—four people on that indictment. That makes these very complicated cases. It takes a long time for them to work their way through the system. We need more resources in the court system. We need more courts. We need more judges. We need more Crowns. We need more funding for legal services for complainants. All of those things come to bear.
I do not think as a society we can touch the presumption of innocence and the burden that's on the Crown now. That is what makes Canadian criminal law so fair to all of us, even when it leads to more wrongful acquittals than wrongful convictions. It protects us all. My concern is that the proposed amendment would ultimately be found to be unconstitutional and would cause more problems in the system. It would result in more cases not being brought to justice.
