The provincial government is going to begin tracking cases which are dismissed because of the Jordan Rule.

The issue hit the floor of the House of Assembly yesterday.

Justice Minister Helen Conway Ottenheimer says they recognize the impact of Jordan cases on the justice system. She says several initiatives – including hiring more public prosecution staff and digital modernization of the court system – are ways that they are addressing the situation.

She says matters involving the Jordan timelines have not been tracked adequately, but that’s going to change.

“That is a commitment we are honouring, putting in place a system to do just that,” says Minister Conway Ottenheimer.
