‘There will be hiccups and maybe even unexpected visits by children and pets. This is OK. There are things that are beyond our control’
After calling to order the Supreme Court of Canada’s first virtual hearing, held over Zoom videoconferencing because of pandemic restrictions, Chief Justice Richard Wagner warned, “Nothing is perfect the first time.”Just after Stephen Hamilton, lawyer for the appellant, began his arguments from his office computer, his image froze; his voice fell mute. Then he disappeared.
“There will be hiccups and maybe even unexpected visits by children and pets. This is OK. There are things that are beyond our control — like the COVID-19 pandemic that has kept us all at home and sickened or taken away so many Canadians, possibly even your own loved ones. The virtual background gave some judges a ghostly appearance, and when they moved quickly glimpses of their real background peeked through. When Justice Russell Brown waved his hands, his shoulders disappeared like some Hollywood tear in the matrix.
