Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Justice.
I have heard the official opposition suggest that the deadline of June 6 imposed by the Supreme Court is an arbitrary one and is wondering why the government has not gone back to seek a further extension.
Of course, the government originally sought a six-month extension of the suspension of the offending sections of the Criminal Code but was only granted a four-month extension.
Does the minister believe that there is actually any substantive merit to the new legal issues that would actually allow the Supreme Court to revisit this particular issue?
