There is concern among the legal community in northwestern Ontario over the issue of a lack of Aboriginal representation on the district's jury roll.
A murder trail in Thunder Bay was postponed this week because of it.
Lawyer Gil Labine says the issue of jury rolls needs to be resolved.
"Effectively it's put a stop to jury trials in Thunder Bay and the northwest region until that happens," says Labine.
A number of cases across northwestern Ontario coming up on the docket later this year could be effected as a result.
