Morin, [1992] 1 S.C.R. 771, released March 26, 1992. Taking into account the factors referred to in Morin, including the societal interest in proceeding expeditiously with charges under the Young Offenders Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. Y-1 , we agree with the Court of Appeal that there was no unreasonable delay in this case. The appeal is therefore dismissed. The application to adduce fresh evidence is dismissed. The application for costs is dismissed on the undertaking of the respondent to support any application for funding by the appellant. Judgment accordingly. Solicitor for the appellant: Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth & the Law, Toronto. Solicitor for the respondent: The Attorney General for Ontario, Toronto.
