Section 86 — Youth Criminal Justice Act: Procedural safeguards

The lieutenant governor in council of a province shall ensure that procedures are in place to ensure that the due process rights of the young person are protected with respect to a determination made under subsection 85(3) or (4), including that the young person be provided with any relevant information to which the provincial director has access in making the determination, subject to subsection (2); given the opportunity to be heard; and informed of any right to a review under section 87. Where the provincial director has reasonable grounds to believe that providing the information referred to in paragraph (1)(a) would jeopardize the safety of any person or the security of a facility, he or she may authorize the withholding from the young person of as much information as is strictly necessary in order to protect such safety or security.
