I heard our Justice Minister in an interview on CBC Radio regarding the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act.
It is clear Mr. Nicholson doesn’t even know the workings of the present system. In referring to how this new law will protect victims and witnesses he mentioned being able to impose non-communication orders. Mr Nicholson, I could not even write to my children for seven years while I lived with the conditions set forth in my disposition. It seems you either do not understand the Board of Review or you are misleading the public. The Review Board can and do impose non-communication orders. I am providing a link for anyone including the Honourable member to familiarize themselves with the process as it now stands.
