Does Section 1473.6 of the Criminal Code of Ontario have any legal basis to appeal against the conviction of a convicted criminal?

" 'The legislative history of ... section 1473.6 reflects the belief that at the time of the introduction of the legislation, "[c]urrently, other than a pardon, no remedy exists for those no longer in the system to challenge their judgment when they learn that their conviction was obtained in part because of fraud or false evidence by a government official." [Citation.] ... Because the misconduct was discovered many years after it occurred, those who were no longer in custody at the time of the discovery of the misconduct would not be able to set aside their convictions. [Citations.]' [Citation.]" (People v. Villa (2009) 45 Cal.4th 1063, 1076, fn. 5.)
