Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for being available to the committee to talk about Bill C-9 today.
Obviously, there is a great deal of consensus that Bill C-9 will fix some of the major problems in the complaints process. I appreciate the minister stressing that it would fix the all-or-nothing problem and allow dealing effectively with lesser forms of judicial misconduct that might not involve removal from the bench. Of course, streamlining the timing is in the interest of everyone, as is reducing costs.
I have two further questions about Bill C-9 and the process in general. They revolve around transparency and the fairness of proceedings. I think right now there is a general feeling that there isn't a great deal of transparency about the outcomes of complaints against those who have committed misconduct on the bench. I wonder whether Bill C-9 will make any improvements or if there any other suggestions to improve the transparency of the outcomes of the process.
