This isn't the time to get arrested

Quebec’s justice system could fall on some hard times.

 Prosecutors might go on strike today after last minute negotiations.

 The province’s four hundred and fifty prosecutors have been in a legal strike position since midnight.

 If the strike happens, a crew of only fifty prosecutors will handle the cases currently in court.  

 Many are also planning to hold a demonstration in front of the National Assembly later this week.

 People waiting for trials and the ones that are already before a jury will continue normally.

 Unfortunately, people who are out on bail will face delays.

 This is also the case for new arrests and fresh charges.

 Quebec’s prosecutors say they are the lowest paid in Canada.

 Their hourly wage is forty percent less than other provinces.
