Madam Chair, I think that one of the consequences of great concern is one I alluded to earlier, which is to attempt to do indirectly what I think cannot be done directly—try to identify which judge decided which case and in what manner, and whether he or she was trained in “sexual assault law”. At the CJC, we see, first of all, taking a very comprehensive approach to judicial education. Second, we have to respect the fact that, in Canada, erroneous decisions are dealt with through the appeals process, and judges who engage in inappropriate conduct are dealt with through the discipline process. That's part of the justice system we have in Canada.
