Mr. Speaker, everyone knows that justice delayed is justice denied for everyone, especially victims.
There are 31 vacancies for judges In Ontario. Some seats have even been empty for 18 months. The government needs to get a move on here.
The minister's inaction is having a negative impact on all courts, from the Superior Court to the Court of Appeal, not to mention the Supreme Court of Canada. Victims who are awaiting justice are the first victims of the minister's inaction.
When will he get to work and nominate judges in order to reduce wait times? The clock is ticking.
