Chief Justice Wagner's Annual News Conference

Yesterday morning, the Rt. Hon. Richard Wagner, Chief Justice of Canada, held a news conference to update Canadians on the work of the Supreme Court of Canada and answer questions from journalists.

Among other topics, Chief Justice Wagner talked about his concerns regarding disinformation undermining confidence in the justice system, including instances where political actors, columnists and social media pundits attacked Court decisions without or before having read them.

He also touched upon the topic of delays in the justice system and the under-funding of courts in many provinces.

The event was broadcast live on CPAC.ca.
