Bill C-9

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 22, 2023
An Act to amend the Judges Act
  • The Judges Act in Canada has been amended to provide a new process for reviewing misconduct allegations against federally appointed judges. This new process applies to judges whose alleged misconduct is not serious enough to warrant removal from office. The Canadian Judicial Council will now be responsible for reviewing the conduct of judges, and a new roster of judges and lay persons will be established to review complaints. The Council may designate a screening officer to assess complaints, and a reviewing member to review complaints that are not dismissed. The Council will establish policies for notifying complainants of any decisions made under the new process.
