Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Public Safety committee I may need a minute on that. The feedback is that a supernumerary judge is still a sitting judge.

Public Safety committee It's possible. It would depend, I guess, on the individual and their position and when they know for sure.
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee To be honest with you, I can't answer that. I think your question is, can you be a sitting judge and take a leave of absence while you do this? I'm not aware of anything like that.
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee Yes, I think the conflict of interest raised here was whether you can be part of the judiciary and the executive at the same time. When you ask to be part of the government as part of the executive, you're making decisions that another part of the judiciary will eventually be ask

Public Safety committee The head of the CRCC had asked for this in terms of clarifying when the complaint is notified and also making clear the sequence, that the commissioner of the RCMP should be the first to know, to give a pause to make sure to understand the effect on operations. From our point of

Public Safety committee That is my understanding.
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee How will information be moved in the context of complaints related to CRCC? I'm not sure how to answer your question. Another part of the act, the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act, is about how information moves within the federal government. It's different from the com
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee As you mentioned, agencies and departments figure out ways to talk to each other, and common sense prevails. If something looks like a national security complaint, it would be referred and dealt with. There's no indication, though, that the complaint would be dead and that it wou

Public Safety committee I would have to talk about amendment LIB-5. You'll see that the mandate in proposed paragraphs 8(1)(a) to (c) is what they're allowed to share information on. Proposed paragraph 8(1)(d) is the complaint mandate. It's not included in LIB-12. Complaints are not part of LIB-12. That
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee The main issue here is that CPC-13 includes exchanging information related to complaints. It's setting up a system whereby the Privacy Commissioner can share complaint-related information with NSIRA. LIB-12 does not. As we mentioned the other day, sharing information related to
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee It's the same thing. LIB-12 and LIB-7 are similar in that regard.
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee Yes, I believe the policy intent was to make sure the sharing of information related to complaints would not be included.
April 19th, 2018Committee meeting
John Davies
Public Safety committee It is a new organization, but it's going to be built on the foundation of existing review bodies, which already have a high degree of expertise. The assumption here is that there would be a lot of initial briefings. We just saw that with the new committee of parliamentarians on n

John Davies
Public Safety committee When C-59 was drafted, a dedicated mobility scheme was created to allow employees from the federal government to move in to NSIRA and move out. You'll see this again with the intelligence commissioner. In hindsight, that was a mistake. That should not have happened, following fur
