Kenneth Whyte, publisher and editor-in-chief of
“Macleans Magazine in Canad, defended a cover story from
the previous week. In that story, Professor Philip Slayton, a
former dean of jaw atthe University of Western Ontario,
accused his profession of falling to live up tits cherished
ideals and instead working to the detriment of society.
‘Whyte commented, “Mr. Slayton has done the Canadian
legal profession a service by going public with his concerns
that one of the problems of the Canaclan legal profession is
that legal professionals are more interested in maintaining a
lucrative status quo than in confronting the need to reform.”

Slayton’ wrote “In Canada, lawyers are allowed to run the
legal profession as they see fit. The only possible justification

for this legislative gift is that itis in the public interest. But is
ite” Then alter listing the defects in the present legal system
the points out that other countries including Great Britain,
are developing a better system which is focused on placing
the inteests of the consumers at its centre. The two key
‘changes are that the legal profession will be overssen by a
new board witha lay majarity and secondly that complaints
‘will be investigated by an independent office. "Law and the
legal system belong o all Canadians.” Slayton’s views are
‘elaborated in is book
Liaise the same questions with respect to the medical
profession. I's also sel- regulated, through its medical
colleges, a legislative gift from the provinces, wth the aim of
protecting the public. This it oes toa limited degree, but in
ny opinion the medical profession is much more interested
in protecting its own turt. | think that when you have read
this book you will come to the same conclusion. The medical
profession has devoted itself too much to protecting itself and
has been so conservative that it has been one of the main
hindrances to research and new developments in medicine
and in psychiatry. As Mr Slayton suggests forthe legal
profession, medicine belongs to all Canadians, not to the
‘medical profession
