I find that what I am talking about is highly relevant to what we're talking about.
I asked our witnesses the other day what would happen if an applicant were unhappy with the decision, and I was pointed to the Vavilov case. I've done my research and I just want to confirm that I think that is exactly the right answer.
I'll see what happens when we're talking about clause 3. I'll have other things to say about that as well.
I want to move on now to the Walchuk case, which is actually a Federal Court of Appeal decision, which was three years before the Bouchard case I was just referencing.
Here is a summary of the Walchuk case. Again, this predates the Vavilov case. On June 14, 2000, Walchuk was convicted of second-degree murder of his estranged wife, Corinne. It's a very sad story. Walchuk applied for ministerial review on the grounds of miscarriage of justice. The minister of justice at that time was Rob Nicholson. His application was rejected. He applied to the Federal Court, and that application was rejected, so then he appealed to the court of appeal. That's what was happening here. Here are the facts. I'll try to be brief. It's a very sad story.
