Earlier today, Michael A. Johnston was interviewed on Ottawa Today with Mark Sutcliffe at 1310 News. Michael discussed the Supreme Court of Canada's recent decision in R. v. Jordan, which changed the rules governing a defendant's right to a trial within a "reasonable time" under subsection 11(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Michael also discussed the Ontario government's response to this decision, including the proposal to hire new judges in the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa.
