As my colleague mentioned, as department officials we're not able to offer opinions on potential amendments or suggest amendments to a bill. However, I will address your question in a different way.
As you noted, the judiciary does have control over judicial education, including what training judges take. We see that the Canadian Judicial Council, which sets the training requirements for federally appointed judges, takes judicial education very seriously. On their website they have several policies on judicial education that underscore the importance of continuing judicial education for judges to keep learning, and also for public confidence. We understand that judges develop education plans that are approved by their chief justices.
In terms of this bill, it would expressly recognize, in one of the proposed amendments to the Judges Act, that the CJC can establish seminars on coercive control and intimate partner violence, and it would also amend the Judges Act to expand the scope of the provision that recommends or encourages the CJC to provide seminars to include seminars on interpersonal violence or intimate partner violence and coercive control.
