Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a question of my hon. colleague from Calgary—Nose Hill, who is a lawyer and who has brought her expertise on legal matters to this party which has been greatly appreciated.
In the beginning of her speech she mentioned that the justice system has ground to a halt. She brought forth a heart-wrenching example. This is a situation that we are faced with across the country. Justice is being delayed. Justice delayed is justice denied. If we want to make sure that justice is done, it has to be done in an expeditious fashion.
The problem is that the government has failed to adopt any of the constructive solutions that have been put forth to ensure that we have an expeditious criminal justice system so that people who are arrested get a fair trail in a timely fashion, in a reasonable timeframe. The system right now does not provide for that.
I ask my colleague from Calgary—Nose Hill whether she can provide to the House some constructive solutions that the government can adopt to ensure that individuals who are in our criminal justice system will go through the system in an expeditious and fair fashion.
