Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the good question she asked. That is a concern. She was right to mention it. As I said earlier, I believe in the principles set out by the Supreme Court in the Jordan decision. They are essential and they must be preserved. However, until we can try people within the time limits set out in the Jordan decision, we have to ensure that the justice system is allowed to deviate from these time limits in special situations, including cases involving femicides like the ones I mentioned.
We cannot let people walk free without first standing trial. This would bring the administration of justice into disrepute. People would lose all trust in our justice system, and that may be the worst danger of all. We are going to come back with a bill similar to the one we introduced before.
