TV Ontario Debate on Access to Justice

The TVO flagship public affairs program The Agenda hosted a live TV discussion on March 3, 2011 about access to justice in Canada.

This was in the wake of recent comments by Canada's Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin on how middle-class and low-income Canadians are being increasingly excluded from the system.

Host Steve Paikin's guests were:

• Lorne Sossin, Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School at York University
• Justice Gloria Epstein of the Court of Appeal for Ontario
• Lee Akazaki, president of the Ontario Bar Association
• Judith McCormack, executive director of Downtown Legal Services, Toronto
• Matt Cohen, director of Litigation Projects, Pro Bono Law Ontario
