Almost anyone who regularly toils in courthouses across Ontario — judges, prosecutors and defence lawyers — would say that despite previous rulings on delays from the Supreme Court and judicial warnings from lower courts,
successive federal and provincial governments have failed to properly resource the justice system in a way that would ensure its fairness and efficiency.
Thus, I would argue that the current «crisis» in Quebec over tuition fees has been largely created by
successive federal governments that have defunded Canadian universities, indeed putting
provincial governments «between a rock
and a hard place.»
