The youth appellant was charged with property offences.
The youth court judge stayed the proceedings, finding that Ontario's alternative measures program under the Young Offenders Act violated sections 7 and 15(1) of the Charter.
The Court of Appeal overturned the stay.
Relying on its concurrent decision in R. v. S.(G.), the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, holding that the program's admission criteria do not infringe the Charter.
