Mr. Speaker, the cancer is spreading. We now have reports of another case being delayed in Alberta, the minister's home province.
I am sure the minister is familiar with the Askov ruling on the charter right to a speedy trial. Last year in B.C. a convicted child molester was set free on Askov. The attorney general's ministry in B.C. is extremely concerned about this issue.
Will the minister ensure British Columbians and all Canadians that when the cases that are now in limbo finally do get to court they will not be thrown out due to lengthy delays?
