There's no incorporation of Jordan's principle, specifically. There's the overarching requirement that the commission deal with applications “as expeditiously as possible” and provide notices and regular status updates to applicants.
It's been one of the main observations that the existing regime is very lengthy. It averages, often, a minimum of a year and up to six years. Other countries are able to resolve and consider applications in around a year, as in the U.K. In Scotland, I think they're able to do it in around seven months.
It's certainly one of the main goals of the legislation: processing applications more quickly. The means to accomplish this is by having a greater number of decision-makers. I think you all know that one minister of justice has many different priorities under their portfolio and is the only decision-maker. With the commission and a minimum of five—up to nine—commissioners and quite a bit more staff.... The intention is that they will have a greater capacity to handle applications more quickly, so people can have their matter referred back to the courts if it meets the referral test.
