That a ways and means motion to implement certain provisions of the economic and fiscal update tabled in Parliament on December 14, 2021 and other measures, be concurred in.
This bill, called Bill S-3, seeks to amend the Judges Act in Canada. The purpose of the amendment is to change the process by which the conduct of federally appointed judges is reviewed. It establishes a new process for reviewing allegations of misconduct that are not serious enough to warrant a judge's removal from office. It also makes changes to the process for making recommendations about removing judges from office to the Minister of Justice. These changes apply to judges and other individuals appointed under an Act of Parliament. The full text of the bill can be found on the Senate of Canada's website.
