Thank you for the question.
I believe this is a significant step forward, because what it will allow the process to focus on is the most serious of allegations that deserve an in-depth and thorough process.
As one of the speakers in a previous panel indicated, there are often complaints that are made against members of the bench out of frustration with the result, rather than actual misconduct by a sitting judge. It's important that those types of complaints are reviewed and assessed to ensure that there is no misconduct, but that they don't bog down the workings of the Canadian Judicial Council.
