Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague from Wild Rose mentioned a family from Saskatchewan who was obliged to come 18 times to court in Alberta on a guilty plea involving a terrible tragedy.
As the member knows, I spent 10 years in court as a defence or crown counsel. Could he tell us, if he has the case at his fingertips, whether the fault for that was because of a probation officer, the judge, the crown or the defence counsel? Can he tell us the reason for this 18 time requirement?
