His off-the-cuff answers were all extremely thoughtful and eloquent. During one of his answers, Chief Justice Joyal made reference to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruleoflaw.ca\/sevens-wonders-and-sixty-colours-more-on-the-interpretation-of-section-7\/\">debate<\/a> between\u00a0L\u00e9onid Sirota and me last summer on the topic of\u00a0<em>Charter\u00a0<\/em>adjudication, and section 7 in particular. We lawyers, academics and law-students write about judges and their decisions often, so it is encouraging to learn that a judge has read and given some thought\u00a0to our perspectives on the law and the proper judicial function. For those interested, the reference is made at approximately the 1:13:00 mark.<\/p>\n<p>I would of course encourage everyone to watch the entire address and the questions that follow. Regardless of whether you agree with Chief Justice Joyal&#8217;s\u00a0perspective, there is no denying its nuance or richness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In January, Chief Justice Joyal of the Manitoba Court of Queen&#8217;s Bench gave an address at the Canadian Constitution Foundation&#8217;s Law &amp; Freedom Conference entitled &#8220;The Charter and Canada&#8217;s New Political Culture: Are We All Ambassadors Now?&#8221; The text of the address was published on this website\u00a0at the time.
