I agree with David Butt's assessment and I agree with the Supreme Court's action. The focal point of the issue is political. But asking politicians nicely to increase justice system funding hasn't worked for the reasons David stated. So the Supreme Court issued a hard cap forcing politicians to take the heat, as they should, for undue delays leading to case dismissal. It's hard medicine, but the alternative was to deny people a fundamental Charter right. Governments now have the ball in their court.
