We identified two approaches. They are to establish either an appropriate number of designated bilingual positions or an appropriate number of judges with the language skills to preside over a proceeding in the minority language.
We didn't make any determination as to the better option. However, a system with designated bilingual positions would have the benefit of ensuring certain things. For example, it would ensure that Sudbury had enough judges in designated bilingual positions and that the required number of bilingual judges weren't all in Toronto.
We recommended that it be agreed that the province's chief justice would obviously be the one who determined the more effective method.
