That's fine.
The issue I want to dig into the most today had to do with written reasons. Justice Kent, you specifically mentioned Professors Craig and Koshan, whom I had some familiarity with before my role as a member of Parliament. I have tremendous respect for them. I really enjoyed their testimony about the exercise of putting together written reasons. I see a lot of parallels as a member of Parliament, because I often speak from bullet points in the House of Commons; but if I were going to write something for public consumption, I would go through a slightly different and perhaps more comprehensive exercise.
One of the fears I have as well was borne out in my community in the past few weeks, in the town of Antigonish. A university professor has had a charge of sexual assault stayed as a result of the Jordan decision. I am concerned about requiring these written reasons and causing additional procedural delays for sexual assault crimes as a result.
Do you think this would lead to more sexual assault cases being stayed as a result of the Jordan decision?
