And is it your view that that would be constitutional, for the Governor in Council to make regulations setting the remuneration of judges when the Constitution seems to be so clear that Parliament does it?
Counsel, Judicial Affairs Unit, Department of Justice
The regulations are really of a very technical nature. They're in support of carrying out the authority that's going to provide it in the Judges Act.

On clauses 16 to 34 there are no amendments. Can we deal with them all at once?

I think we're dealing with clause 35, the coming into force provision. Again, this is a minor technical amendment as a result of removing subclause 9(3) from the bill. We would now be renumbering the provisions.
We also have the spousal employment assistance provision that we originally thought we would have to delay the coming into force of, but it has now been determined that there is no need to delay it. So we're only referring now to subclauses 9(1) and 9(2), which would be delayed pending the coming into force of the regulations.
