Question Period – April 17, 2018 – Another murder case thrown-out due to delay

Mr. Speaker, today in Calgary, first degree murder charges involving notorious gang leader Nick Chan were thrown out of court due to delay.

A year and a half ago, 10 new judicial spots were established to deal with the backlog in Alberta’s courts. A year and a half later, the Minister of Justice has managed to fill just one of these vacancies. Clearly, the minister is not doing her job.

Will she take responsibility for the release of this dangerous criminal?
