Abstract
In R v Omar , 2019 SCC 32, in a very brief oral decision, the majority concluded that evidence of a firearm ought not to be excluded on the facts of that case. They added, however, that "[i]t may be that consideration should be given to the availability, under s 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms , of remedies other than exclusion of evidence when dealing with s 24(2), but the majority would leave this question for another day" [para 1]. Griffith is an indication that judges and counsel are taking up this invitation to explore the alternatives to exclusion.
