With the case of Girouard, now it's done. He has resigned. He lost the application for appeal to the Supreme Court, but it was indeed a case that dragged on. There were multiple judicial reviews. This created costs and delays. This is what Bill C-9 aims to correct, that no more judicial reviews of this kind will drag on forever.
Right now the process, and what was done in Girouard, is that every decision of council is brought to the Federal Court for judicial review. That creates a very long delay.
With Bill C-9, there's going to be an appeal mechanism. There's a part of a clause that doesn't allow for those judicial reviews anymore. In that context, it provides the balance of procedural fairness for the judge to contest a decision of council. It also provides for council to streamline.... I think Minister Lametti gave a good example: that the process keeps going up instead of going sideways, with multiple judicial reviews that create undue delays.
