Thank you for that. However, amendment NDP-12 does not speak specifically to a trial judge. It makes reference to a provincial court judge. On the surface of this, I thought it was redundant because the use of “judge” includes both levels.
To be specific to your point, Mr. Ellison, do you think there's value in offering up a friendly amendment to the NDP to make reference to a trial judge as opposed to a provincial court judge?
