One thing we can do without infringing on judicial independence is to advocate and put pressure on the judiciary and even on governments—sitting ministers of justice—concerning, for instance, the administration of the court. I think there's nothing wrong with shining some light on whether the chief justice is assigning sexual assault trials to a judge who doesn't have any training. The more transparency we can impose and the more pressure we can put on the provincial system, the more helpful we can be, and advocates are already doing that. There are many advocates who have picked up on this bill and have started to put pressure on provincial governments.
I've had very good conversations with Premier Christy Clark, who's very supportive of this bill and is looking to see what she can do at the provincial level. I've had conversations with Premier Brad Wall, with Premier Brian Pallister, and also with leaders in the Atlantic region, and I've either sent a letter or spoken with every single premier and also sent letters to all of the ministers of justice and attorneys general about how this can be done without imposing or infringing on judicial independence and saying why this would be important. It's as simple as amending the criteria.
