In his decision issued March 28, 2019 Justice Derek Green stated: “The evidence from "APTN", which I accept, is that Aboriginal communities have been historically under-represented in the Canadian media.” The decision referenced both the Charter rights to free expression for journalists and stated the need for reconciliation “places a heightened importance on ensuring that independently-reported information about (A)boriginal issues, including (A)boriginal protests, is available to the extent possible.” Nalcour did not appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.
