There are, actually, quite a few cases in which fresh evidence comes to light after a person has been convicted and they can apply to the court of appeal to have an extension of the time within which to file an appeal. When there is such compelling fresh evidence, the courts of appeal do grant that extension and an appeal. A lot of wrongful conviction cases do make their way through the courts without coming through the ministerial review process and, in the future, the commission process. That will remain available but it's just to clarify the avenues with respect to when someone can come to the commission or whether they still have to go to the courts.
