1.Seven provinces and territories (i.e., Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories). Note: The median represents the mid-point of a group of values when all the values are sorted by size. Mean elapsed time is measured from first to last court appearance. Superior court data are not available for Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Nunavut has a single level trial court. Prince Edward Island superior court data do not include information on the number of appearances and elapsed time from first to last case appearance. As a result, data for Prince Edward Island have been removed from the analysis. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, Uniform Crime Reporting Survey.
