I sure can. It depends on the case, Mr. Cooper.
For appeals on questions of law, the open court process is actually enhanced by Zoom because more people can get access to a hearing before three judges of an appellate court or even the Supreme Court of Canada through Zoom. That's a wonderful new form of technology in open court, and we should embrace it.
However, you're right. There are trials at the trial court level where there are real privacy concerns, where people are recording the testimony of witnesses even when they're told that they can't and that it's an offence to do so. How do we check that? How do we protect the witness who does not want to be identified? Even jurors, as we know, in the recent George Floyd trial in the United States, were kept away from the general public so that they could not be identified by those viewing the case.
Everyone has an interest in an open court system, but particular cases do require the control that comes from in-person hearings, and it is case-specific.
