Multi-year court delays could be done as the government pledges $15 million to hire more sheriffs and admin staff in the 2018 budget.

The province has struggled with a sheriff shortage for years and the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union said that between 2012 and 2016, at least 20 sheriffs left for higher-paid jobs.
