Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here.
We're looking at clause 2, which would amend subsection 679(7) of the Criminal Code. I'm just going to read the first part of it, just to put it into context. Subsection 679(7) of the Criminal Code would now read, if and when this bill passes:
If the Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission established under subsection 696.71(1) notifies a person under subsection 696.4(5) that their application for review is admissible
and then certain things happen. It sets off a sequence of events. You've highlighted that. Thank you for the clarity on that.
My question is this: What happens if the review commission decides that the application is not admissible?
What avenue does the unhappy litigant—or I guess the person is a convict still, at that point—have under judicial review procedures? What's available? What's the standard for review?
It's been a lot of years since I studied administrative law in law school. I would just be curious as to what that is. I studied something about the U.K. procedures. I just want to do a comparative...of that.
Thank you so much for looking into that.
