As a law student at Queen’s, I took part in the Correctional Law Program – representing Federal Inmates before the National Parole Board of Canada, Institutional Disciplinary Hearings and Inmate Appeals. I articled with Thomson Rogers, a civil litigation law firm in downtown Toronto and was called to the bar in 2003. Then I practiced law as a civil litigator with Rafael Partners LLP for a short while, until joining Edward Greenspan’s office as an associate criminal lawyer. At Greenspan’s office, I worked on several high profile trials and appeals to the Ontario Court of Appeal and to the Supreme Court of Canada. I have reviewed all of your Legal Line materials and I have listened to many various topic areas. I must say, the concept is brilliant. I focused on, and was particularly impressed with the depth of information provided in your criminal law section. I confirm that I would be willing to accept calls from your Criminal Law section with the willingness to assist Legal Line callers.

  • "Deputy Chief Peter Sloly is in his 25th year with the Toronto Police Service. He is in charge of Community Safety Command (CSC) with 4000 police officers, 200 civilian members and a budget of $451 million. Peter Sloly has been a member of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the FBI National Academy Associates, the TPS Military Veterans Association and the Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers. Peter Sloly is committed to continuous education. He has a Criminal Justice Certificate from the University of Virginia, Incident Command System Certification from the Justice Institute of BC, a B.A. in Sociology from McMaster University and a Masters in Business Administration from York University's Schulich School of Business. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, the Major City Chief's Police Executive Development Program and the University of Toronto Rotman Police Executive Leadership Program. Our gathering in November was fantastic as we took TUB's credibility to the next level by hosting the Man who is most likely to become the next Chief of Police for Toronto, Deputy Police Chief Peter Sloly! In short, if you weren't present you definitely missed out because Deputy Chief Sloly was not only an exceptionally sincere & erudite speaker, but also a truly inspiring example of Strength, Wisdom, Integrity, Prosperity & Compassion. From the candid details of his trials & tribulations as the fastest rising police officer in Toronto police history, to the powerful insights he shared about human nature in general, Deputy Chief Sloly was a true gift to The Universal Brotherhood. For his part, here are the words that he sent me after attending our event: "Garth, your TUB meting was by far the best part of my day. I was inspired by the vision, the people and energy in the room...and by your leadership. Best regards and blessings. Peter" How cool it will be having Toronto's Chief of Police as a solid supporter of The Universal Brotherhood!

While the churches themselves stand to benefit from having access to Legal Line, we have come to understand that in many instances, particularly in rural and ethnic communities, the Church is, to a larger extent, the gatekeeper to our justice system. It is often with the cooperation of the Church that individuals develop, rightly or wrongly, a perception of their rights. It is also often through the Church that these people then seek a remedy either through the courts or by some other form of dispute resolution. The fourteen (14) Diocesan offices of the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops were very interested when I mentioned that I would request copies of your guide for their parishes.

Having had an opportunity to review Legal Line in 2 ways, by telephone, which I found to be clear, concise, prompt and efficient, and also on your website, I am confident that the public will find this legal information most helpful. It is a great help to my practice to have a service like Legal Line, where employees can find the answers to their more basic legal questions and be directed to lawyers practising in the areas of their particular problem. Legal Line saves me time, by answering the simpler questions on Labour / Union issues.

The legal system is often not seen as a way to resolve problems because the conventional wisdom is that it is remote, too complex and too expensive. This is not the case.

  • "Congratulations on your Legal Line Initiative. Since we have the common goal of assisting the public to become more knowledgeable about the law, we are happy to contribute to this worthwhile project. The Inquiries Unit at the OSC is committed to providing service excellence to the investing public and market participants. We are developing new ways for the public to reach us, and better ways to respond to their needs. We have increased staff at our Contact Centre where knowledgeable Inquiries Officers will be available by phone or can be contacted by e-mail, in writing or in person. We will benefit from the Legal Line initiative by increasing public awareness of our role as a regulator of the capital markets in the province and of our availability to assist them with their inquiries. In the Commission's last fiscal year over 8,000 inquiries and complaints were handled by Commission staff. We expect that number to be greater in the next year with our expanded public profile. We would therefore like to request that we be provided with 1,000 copies of your guide so they may be distributed where appropriate with our responses to inquiries. The experiences of the Inquiries Unit have led to our submission of new topics based on the more common inquiries received. To enhance the Legal Line services, Our comments and suggestions for the topic headings in "Investments and Securities" are attached. Our next step will be to provide draft scripts for the new topics, which will be adapted from our "frequently asked questions" database. The Communications Branch of the Commission has approved the link of our website (www.osc.gov.on.ca) direct to Legal Line.

In the Commission's last fiscal year, over 8,000 inquiries and complaints were handled by Commission staff. We expect that number to be greater in the next year with our expanded public profile. We would, therefore, like to request that we be provided with 1,000 copies of the guide so they can be distributed where appropriate with our responses to inquiries.

I also read a great deal on your website. I must say I was very impressed with your service for a number of reasons. The feature I liked the best is that the information was explained in simple, easy to understand terms for the average layman, yet also dealt with issues that can become complex when examined in detail. Another important factor is the accuracy of the legal information, especially when explaining complicated matters. Legal Line has very successfully balanced the dilemma of providing general information about specific legal issues, without providing information that is so specific to a particular person or group of persons that it has no significance for most people.

  • "It was a pleasure working with you on this project. While I have only reviewed this particular area, the reference material gives solid, basic advice which, in many cases, would not be economic for the public to access directly from lawyers. By creating a more informed consumer, Legal Line will actually help to generate business for lawyers. Often times, the public is hesitant to go see a lawyer when they are uncertain as to whether they really need one. Individuals who access Legal Line will have taken an anonymous and inexpensive first step towards determining that they in fact have a legal problem and need to get legal assistance. // *** Dan is recognized as a leader in all insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring matters including creditors’ remedies, debtors’ relief, bankruptcy, receivership, general insolvency matters, corporate restructuring and bank and insolvency related litigation.
