The Supreme Court of Canada began hearing arguments Tuesday on whether courts in Canada should be able to conduct secret off-the-books trials that are not listed on court dockets.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other media outlets, including The Canadian Press and La Presse, brought the case before Canada's top court. The Attorney General of Quebec is also an appellant.

Im not sure if I am intruping this right. But it seems we've given judges the ability to hide from public scrutiny. Depending on people to just be ethical and not abuse this kind of power would be incredibly naive of us.
