Justice minister says government to reject Senate changes to judicial oversight bill
OTTAWA — Justice Minister David Lametti says the government will reject the Senate's amendments to a judicial oversight bill, arguing that the changes would do the opposite of what the bill is trying to accomplish.
The House of Commons had unanimously passed the bill, which would also clarify when a judge can be removed and change the way the council reports its recommendations to the minister.
