"The Supreme Court of Canada ruled Friday that a person questioned by police in connection with a criminal case does not have the right to have a lawyer present during the interview.
In a trio of related decisions, the Supreme Court also said a suspect doesn't have the right to re-consult with a lawyer midway through an interview, unless the situation in the interview has changed significantly.
The court also said a suspect does not have the absolute right to consult with a specific lawyer if that attorney can't be reached within a reasonable time."
