Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice.
Recently the minister decided to consider the case of Patrick Kelly under article 690 of the Criminal Code, which allows the minister to order a new trial when a conviction is based on false evidence.
However, as the minister knows, there has been a lot of criticism of the 690 process, that the criteria are vague, it is secret, too long and not independent.
When will the minister act to meet these criticisms and reform the 690 process?
