Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being with us today.
I'd like the representatives from the Barreau du Québec to elaborate on certain questions.
First, I understand that you agree on expanding the cases where there can be a request for a miscarriage of justice review. Instead of only cases where there probably was a miscarriage of justice, the bill expands the possibility of requesting a review to those cases where a miscarriage of justice may have occurred.
You would also like the wording to say that the commission “must”, rather than “may”, conduct an investigation at that point.
Essentially, I agree with that, but I do wonder: Would that not weigh down the process? It seems to me that there would be a lot more files than there currently are.
I'd like to hear your opinion on that.
