Talk:The Boys of St. Vincent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There was a Trial about this movie. It's probably worth to mention it in the article.
"In 1994, the House of Commons passed Bill C-42 in one day, amending over 100 aspects of the Criminal Code. Senators were concerned about provisions allowing publication bans. The Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs held five hearings on the bill, giving publishers and criminal lawyers a chance to voice their concerns. While the Committee was reviewing the bill, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down a ban preventing the CBC from broadcasting The Boys of St. Vincent. The Court was protecting the right to freedom of expression guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Senate Committee struck out the offending clauses, the House of Commons agreed, and the bill became law."
