From: Department of Justice Canada The Government is committed to a fair and impartial criminal justice system that protects communities, and respects the needs of victims while guarding against potential miscarriages of justice. The Government is committed to a fair and impartial criminal justice system that protects communities, and respects the needs of victims while guarding against potential miscarriages of justice. The Honourable David Lametti, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, announced today that following an extensive review, he has ordered a new trial for Mr. Jacques Delisle under the conviction review provisions of the Criminal Code. Before deciding to order a new trial or appeal, the Minister of Justice must be satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred. Determining whether a miscarriage of justice likely occurred involves a close examination of information initially submitted in support of the application, followed by an in-depth investigation. During this process, all relevant information is considered, including whether the application is supported by new matters of significance, usually new information that has surfaced since the trial and appeal.
