Bellissimo, LL.B., C.S.* Joanna Mennie, LL.B.** Introduction The Refugee Protection Division is often referred to as the RAD. RAD is: An abbreviation of “radical” — a term made popular by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Still primarily used by people on the West Coast who find words like “cool”, “awesome”, and “tight” to be tired and overused; “rad” is generally considered to be a much higher praise than the aforementioned superlatives. Also used as a general expression of awe. “Those are some rad shoes.” “Oh, RAD.”1 As the RAD begins to define its jurisdiction and establish its role in the Canadian refugee legal landscape, its goal is not to obtain praise or to be considered cool, but perhaps to develop an “awesome” evolution towards *Mario D. Bellissimo is a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School and the founder of Bellissimo Law Group in Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Bellissimo is a Certified Spe- cialist in Citizenship and Immigration Law and Refugee Protection.

Its transformation from first steps to a mature tribunal will take several years and will, in part, be defined by the Federal Courts and potentially beyond. The core of any debate surrounds understanding the role of the RAD and its appel- late jurisdiction. Citing the remarks of the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, P.C. Chief Justice of Canada:2 I believe that we have reached a new stage in the saga of courts, administrative tribunals and the rule of law.

  • Speech Delivered by Chief Justice Marc Noël at the Opening of the Courts in Montréal on the Theme "Why Not?"
    Speech delivered by Chief Justice Marc Noël at the opening of the Courts in Montréal on the theme "Why not?" September 8, 2016 Honourable Chief Justices and Associate Chief Justices, Honourable judges from all jurisdictions represented here, Madam Bâtonnière and Mr. Bâtonnier, Members of the Bar of Montreal, distinguished guests: Mr. Bâtonnier, let me start by saying that I was perplexed, and even surprised, by the order in which you called the Chief Judges of the various Courts to speak this morning. But, in listening to the speeches that were made before mine, I quickly realized that you had saved the best for last... The court system may seem complicated, even to insiders. In addition to the legal uncertainty often involved in determining the jurisdiction of the courts in Quebec, there are judges appointed by the provincial government to courts administered by the province, such as the judges of the Court of Quebec; there are judges appointed by the federal government to courts administered by the province, such as the judges of the Superior Court; and there are also judges appointed by the federal government to federally administered courts. Today, I am speaking to you on behalf of this third category of judges, which includes judges from the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada, and the Tax Court of Canada. These Courts comprise some 90 judges and 1 prothonotaries—150 if we include provincial Court of Appeal and Superior Court judges who are also members of the Court Martial Appeal Court. A third of these judges, myself included, are from Quebec and are trained in civil law.
