TORONTO — An advocacy group pushing for justice system reforms to help the wrongly convicted will be making an announcement today in Toronto.
Innocence Canada says two of the country’s major federal parties have committed to creating a special tribunal to investigate wrongful convictions.
The organization did not say which parties have made the pledge, but the Liberals have previously announced they would do so if re-elected.
Innocence Canada says a tribunal would replace the current system in which a person must convince the federal justice minister that they’ve been wrongfully convicted.
