In October. 1976 the Ministry of the Attorney General issued a White Paper on Courts Administration, based upon the premise that justice in Ontario may be seriously undermined by the caseload crisis facing the courts of this province. This White Paper reports that it was clear by 1968 that great discrepancies existed in facilities and services available in various parts of the province, and , only a systematic approach would ensure adequate facilities and level of service for all Ontarians. A major change in courts administration took place in 1968 when the province, and the Ministry of the Attorney General .assumed, for the first time ever, responsibility for courts administration. In 1970 the whole question of how traditional and ancient methods of courts ad- ministration could best be adapted to 20th Century needs was referred to the Ontario Law Reform Commission. • The Commission's Report, completed in 1973, was en- dorsed by the government, although some concern was expressed about specific operational proposals. ----- A regional developmental project to test feasibility of various court reform proposals was initiated, for which purpose the Central. West Region, a group of ten 6 counties and judicial districts clustering around Hamilton, was selected, providing ad it was selected, providing as it entire province. The ob- jective of the project was to provide-' a setting for developing and testing ad- ministrative methods and services for the courts. The Project Management Team concentrated on the following areas: development of office standards for Provincial Courts (Criminal and Family Divisions) ; general r\anagement of the court offices by the management team; development of more ef- fective ffective techniques • for allocating the work of court reporters and the preparation of transcripts; development of statistical analysis methods and techniques; development of evaluative criteria and standards related to court productivity; and case flow management. According to the White Paper, in all but one crucial area, the Project Team achieved considerable suc- cess. The development of administrative support services permitted the project team to: monitor the effectiveness of individual offices; allocate ad- ministrative resources more effectively and efficiently; and develop a uniform response, throughout the area, to administrative Clinton man to supervise referee certification program By Chris Zdeb Clinton's Gus Boussey is to hanging up his skates after refereeing 2,185 hockey games to take on the duties of • Western Ontario supervisor for the new National Referees Certification Program. The program, that will upgrade refereeing knowledge and skills,' was set up by the Fitness and Amateur sport branch of the Federal Department of • National Health and Welfare in the beginning of 1976. .1 Boussey, with 28 years of refereeing experience, was appointed a supervisor on March 4th. Covering an area from Owen Sound to Lucan and from Stratford to Goderich, Boussey's duties will involve evaluating ,referees and holding clinics for all Minor Hockey officials. The Ontario • Minor Hockey Association and Ontario Hockey Association are responsible for the program as outlined by the rules and regulations of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. The program is broken down into six different levels of refereeing skills with Level one, the basic introductory nurse, and levels five and ' ix, covering national championships and in- ternational competitions. The program hopes to standardize a referee's training, and balance out the constant criticism he faces rom minor hockey players and their parents. "All a referee ever hears is the criticism from parents, players and the crowd," O Boussey said. "He needs someone to encourage him • and point out what he's doing right and wrong.", Up until the program, most referees' evaluation wasdone by former hockey players ,who were in attendance at a game. Under the new program, Boussey will be making periodic evaluations of referees during a game. While concentrating on referees, the new supervisor still has some very definite criticism of minor hockey itself. "Minor hockey has to go back to teaching the basics of the game,he said. "One of the basics being, that the game itself is fun - win or lose or draw." , The biggest problems in minor hockey come from team officials *and parents who think winning is the most important partof a game and badger their children to reach for "superstar status" even if it means resorting to violence, Boussey said. Although he hangs up his skates as a referee, "having put in enough miles on the ice," Boussey said he will continue to referee tour- naments and local minor hockey games for free. He estimated that in his 28 -year career, he has refereed in over 150 of these tournaments and local minor games. .One thing he will no longer have to worry about are eggs flying from the hands of irrate fans during playoff games. There have been few such incidents though; he said, the majority of people he has met being true sportsmen who are above such action."

However, the present divided administrative structure of the courts prevented any real progress in the key area of case flow management. One of the most important initiatives taken by the Project Management Team, with the approval of the Advisory Committee, was the development of a case flow management system in the Provincial Court (Criminal Division) in Halton County. Its objective was to re- arrange the work of the. criminal courts to make maximum use of judicial and other resources and increase the convenience of the public. The proposal for a case flow management system in- volved the complete re- scheduling of all the business of the criminal courts, the changing of the time of commencement of various courts, the re -allocation of duties between Provincial Judges and Justices of the Peace, a change in the procedure for setting . trial dates, a change in the in -take procedure for scheduling first appearances of cases riot previously dealt with, a change in adjournment procedures, a change in the number and location of various- court sittings, the development of a new system for streaming certain types of case into different courts, and the allocation of specific blocks of judicial time for the disposition of certain types of case. The Central West Project has, apparently, proved that case flow management is a key to effective court reform, and if effective management is to be attained, the present management must be unified. The White Paper concludes that the Central West Project demonstrated that in our courts administration system judicial and administrative functions are so interwoven that any system which at- tempted to confer control on the basis of the distinction would fail to meet the goals of effective court reform. The only way to achieve any unified managerial control over case flow _is to place overall control in the hands of a central authority with the ability to develop and apply case flow management izehrs fine markets... of fine foods FINE QUALITY GOLDEN YELLOW OR GREEN TIPPED BANANAS Ib standards upon individual courts. Neither the con- stitution nor the public would permit this authority to 'be wielded by the Attorney General. Effective management controls over individual courts and upon the court system as a whole can only be imposed where ultimate authority is vested in a judicial office. It is proposed that ultimate authority and responsibility be conferred upon a Judicial Council composed _of the senior judiciary. The United States and Great Britain have adopted different solutions to vest unified control over courts administration in a judicial office. Changes in the court structure to meet public needs have taken place in the past and, no doubt, will continue to take place. Whije the proposed court structure should permit the im- plementation of reforms necessary to ensure the public the level of° service.-...._ they presently require, further and other arrangements can be made to meet future needs.
