Mr. Speaker, I guess the Minister of Justice did not hear my question. The question was not about the attorney general pursuing charges, it was about the effect of the Askov decision which says that a reasonable delay in the appeal process can result in convicted criminals walking free, as happened with a child molester in B.C. last year.
How can she assure Canadians that this will not happen again with respect to those now before the courts on charges of possession of child pornography? How can she assure us of that?
