We went to the ombudsman for help. The same as with most people we went to for help, they meant well, but they mysteriously ran away. We are still waiting for their return calls many months later.

I spoke with Beatrice Miller over two hours. She was fully committed to getting the appeal process started against the false charges brought on by the Bridgewater Justice Center. Then it all went south! No return calls! No nothing! Just like Houdini, she disappeared!

The Department of Justice works to ensure that Canada’s justice system is as fair, accessible and efficient as possible. The Department helps the federal government to develop policy and to draft and reform laws as needed. At the same time, it acts as the government’s legal adviser, providing legal counsel and support, prosecuting cases under federal law, and representing the Government of Canada in court.The Department’s responsibilities reflect the double role of the Minister of Justice, who is also by law the Attorney General of Canada: in general terms, the Minister is concerned with the administration of justice, including policy in such areas as criminal law, family law, human rights law, and Aboriginal justice; the Attorney General is the chief law officer of the Crown, responsible for conducting all litigation for the federal government.
