The Supreme Court of Canada previously ordered that all proceedings in this appeal, including the judgment and reasons for judgment, be sealed to protect the safety of the appellants.
The Court subsequently notified the parties of its intention to make the proceedings public unless cause was shown.
As neither the appellants nor the Crown provided a valid reason to continue the sealing order, the Court concluded that the circumstances warranting confidentiality were no longer present.
The Court ordered the release of the court file, including the reasons for judgment.
