J. Michael MacDonald, the interim executive director of the council, urged the government Tuesday to make what he called "minor" amendments to Bill C-5 to make it clear that it's entirely up to the judiciary to decide what kind of education and training judges should have.
"The concern is that in 20 years from now, if the government of the day were to direct judges to learn about the myth of residential schools ... you would want the judiciary to stand bravely, courageously and say, 'You can't tell us what we have to learn. If you tell us what we have to learn, you tell us what we have to think, arguably,"' he told the House of Commons justice committee, which is studying the bill.
MacDonald said the council is also concerned that the bill would apply only to federally appointed judges, not to those appointed to provincial and territorial courts, which handle the vast majority of sexual assault cases. "This doesn't in any way have an impact on the decisions that they actually make as judges and I think the counterbalancing point is we're trying to get at better, more fair, more sensitive processes particularly with respect to sexual assault."
I feel sorry for every male who is going to be wrongfully convicted due to this law, because this law ensures that a woman is right even when they are wrong because they are not allowed to investigate, they must 100% believe the accuser is right at all times.
Did they clear that with RonaAmbrose ?
