Action plan to tackle court delays
Court delays are reaching a critical point in Quebec, to the point many are calling it a crisis.
To curb the trend, Quebec Justice Minister, Stephanie Vallée, presented an action plan.
Vallée made it clear hiring more judges and prosecutors is not necessarily the solution.
Instead, the minister is calling on all the players in the criminal justice system to cooperate more to reduce delays in the system.
Her action plan was drafted with input from those players including the Quebec Bar Association.
Jamie Orchard interviews its president, Claudia Prémont.

Produced by the National Film Board, the film is billed as the American Dream, Kenyan-style.
Jamie Orchard sits down with West Island’s Anjali Nayar, the director, to talk about the documentary and working in the war-torn country of Kenya.
