denied the motion, and Edwards appealed.

The FCA in Edwards v The Queen, 2012 FCA 330, stated that the motions judge did not err in making her decision. However, the FCA, on being informed that the provision in question was included in Bill C-48, which received first reading on November 21, 2012, granted an adjournment until November 26, 2013. [The Court was informed that the first reading was on November 26, 2012, but LEGISinfo provides the date of November 21, 2012).

Unfortunately, the Bill has not yet progressed past the first reading stage. Edwards and others will have to continue to wait.
