Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to both the witnesses.
Mr. Létourneau, my friends across the way have referenced both Justices LeSage and Lamer around the issue of constitutionality from their perspective. There are two parts to my question here. I don't disagree that they said it—I think I actually read that—but were they actually sitting in a position of authority and deeming it? They're eminent jurists, there's no question of that, but were they actually ruling at trial stage, or is this simply their opinion?
The other question is this: has the Supreme Court actually given us an opinion as to constitutionality vis-à-vis what we might call a “summary trial”?
