That is concerning to me, because, if you look at miscarriages of justice, knowing about programs and access to proper legal help.... These are some of the things that need to be looked at while the bill is being implemented—should it pass—in order to make sure some of these areas are looked after.
This past year, the Department of Justice indicated.... In terms of miscarriages of justice, there's a very prominent case. You began a review of the convictions of two indigenous women, Odelia and Nerissa Quewezance. They are two of at least 12 indigenous women whose stories have been publicized by the MMIWG national inquiry. It underscored how the systemic injustices they faced have been experienced by far too many indigenous women within the criminal legal system, but also when they are seeking remedies for miscarriages of justice.
Can you provide an update on when the department will reach a decision on these convictions, for which the Quewezance sisters have served decades in prison? What is the timeline for reviewing the cases of the other 10 identified indigenous women?
