OTTAWA — Justice Minister David Lametti’s office says some Senate amendments to a judicial oversight bill would do the opposite of what the bill is trying to…
The House of Commons had unanimously passed the bill, which would also clarify when a judge can be removed and change the way the Canadian Judicial Council reports its recommendations to the minister.
If the review panel deemed the complaint serious enough to consider removing a judge from office, the complaint would go to a separate hearing panel. That group would then be responsible for making a recommendation to the justice minister. In its original form, Bill C-9 would require the judicial council to publicly report on the number of complaints it receives and how they were resolved.
Sen. Denise Batters introduced an amendment to add different types of people to the judicial complaint process.
