A true reflection of the legal profession in Ontario. Think I’m wrong? Then let’s see one of his colleagues call him out. 🤣

On this side of the House, the Liberals, Nova Scotia NDP & Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin are firm in our commitment to ban the misuse of NDAs in sexual assault cases. In debate last night, the Houston Conservatives made it clear they don’t want to protect women, but the opposition in NS won’t back down.

Forging our resolve,
We will not stop until the laws are changed in this province.

2 NS Universities have signed a pledge to not use NDAs, the NS federation of Labour has voted to not use NDAs, Joanne Franklin petition has almost 15,000 signatures, yet NS government still won’t pass the bill to ban NDAs in sexual assault cases? What are we missing??? #nspoli

My column in the Globe today

Despite growing abhorrence over the prolific use of NDAs covering up sexual misconduct and discrimination at universities, resulting in new law in England and Ontario, The Chronicle of Higher Education The Chronicle of Higher Education considers the topic 'does not meet our current needs.'
