Today we have the 2018 SCC decision of R v Boudreault, brought to you by extra special guest Teodora Pasca! Teodora does an excellent introduction, discussing victim fine surcharges and explaining how the majority sees those fines in terms of those marginalized by the state. Before Teodora explains the context and outcome of the decision, Z & K wax poetic (quickly) about victim fine surcharges in general. We're splitting Teodora's episode into two parts, so first up is the Majority decision, penned by Justice Martin. Thanks for guest reading Teodora!
