ONTARIO COURT OF JUSTICE
(CENTRAL EAST REGION)
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN v. MR. J----- S-----
*****
EXCERPT OF PROCEEDINGS
BEFORE THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE H. CHISVIN
On Jun 22, 2011, at NEWMARKET, ONTARIO
****
THE COURT: Mr. S-------, anything you wish to say? You don't have to.
Mr. S-------: Pretty much – say I'm sorry – probably never be seen here again.
THE COURT: You know Mr. S-------, it might not surprise you that lots of people say that to me on a regular basis but I actually have faith in you that you won't come back. And one of the reasons I have though I've never met Franca, I have never spoken to Franca, I know all kinds of people who have gone through that program and I know that she helps people out who are not participating appropriately in the program and I know that she's exceedingly successful in the program when people want to do something. And for her to come here and say she has the utmost confidence that you're never going to come back gives me a lot of faith in you and that you've done a lot of fantastic work to get to the point where you are. It's not easy.
...
THE COURT: You will continue to attend for such assessment and take such counseling as may be directed by the supervisor and execute a release in favour of the supervisor to confirm that you've gone for an assessment and counseling. And I have every faith that as soon as you tell them you're at Vitanova and been working there that will end that, but they have to be able to supervise you and know what you're doing.
