Issue 3: Modernization of the Evidentiary Standard and Rules in Canadian Sexual Assault Law Background: The #Me Too movement has had a profound impact on Canadian society and the law of sexual assault over the past two years. Interest groups have invested significant money buying billboards simply delivering the message I Believe You in direct reference to the victims of sexual assault. The criminal law standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt has historically made it very difficult to attain a conviction for sexual assault without third party or physical corroborating evidence. Read the article from the Globe & Mail Supreme Court sends signal to appellate courts on sexual assault rulings from Dec 14/20, which is posted in Blackboard under Course Content- Other Materials, which makes it clear that the Supreme Court of Canada is intentionally changing Canadian sexual assault law to make it more likely that sexual assault charges will result in convictions. The Question: BE IT RESOLVED that the historical interpretation in Canadian law of what is required to establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt was biased against complainants and that the pro-complainant modifications being implemented by the Supreme Court of Canada represent a necessary and positive change in modern society in light of the #Me Too movement.
