Mr. Speaker, my question is for the justice minister but I would like to advise the defence minister that we will be back on Monday.
The worst thing our justice system can do is imprison someone for a crime they did not commit. Two and a half years ago, I asked the justice minister to examine the lengthy delays experienced with the processing of 690 applications which are based on evidence of wrongful imprisonment.
The justice minister said at that time: "We will be announcing in the next few months changes in the system to ensure that all such applications are dealt with fairly and as quickly as possible".
I have not heard any announcements in the last two years. Has the new system been put in place?
