Official Languages committee Indeed. In fact, some federal courts do sit in Quebec, but we need to see how much Quebec will benefit from the funding. That said, the funding doesn't target anything related to the Court of Appeal and the Superior Court.

Official Languages committee I think that more judgments should be translated. However, we cannot tell you today how many additional judgments should be translated.
April 4th, 2017Committee meeting
Claudia P. Prémont
Official Languages committee Indeed. Considering the number of judgments rendered, it is certain that the proportion of judgments that should be translated is fairly significant, and I don't think that the number of judgments currently being translated is close to it.
