**Court delays in Alberta have been reduced thanks to streamlining measures introduced by the province. Three months after the measures were introduced, the initiatives have made significant progress in cutting down judicial delays, Justice Minister Jonathan Denis said Monday. Prosecutors have proceeded by direct indictment in three high-profile Edmonton-area cases recently. Statistics provided by Alberta Justice showed the average time to go to trial in provincial court dropped slightly in June 2013 over the previous year in Edmonton and Calgary. Preliminary inquiries have historically been used to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to proceed to trial. Eliminating preliminary inquiries may save time in provincial court, but DePoe predicted it will result in longer dockets in the province’s superior trial court.**

Most foreigners are waiting outside the United States.**
