Bijuralism: A Supreme Court of Canada Justice's Perspective The Honourable ClaireL 'Heureux-Dubg* I consider it an honour to have been invited to deliver the Rubin Lecture at the Louisiana State University Law Center. I had the privilege and good fortune to know Judge Alvin Rubin. I am delighted to have an opportunity to pay tribute to this great jurist whose "intellect, scholarship and judicial leadership," in the words of one of his colleagues, "place him in a select group" including Holmes, Brandeis, Cardozo, Learned Hand, and Henry Friendly, all judicial icons.' Alvin Rubin was a giant among jurists and, most importantly, one with a pronounced social conscience. The family tradition of excellence is shared by his wife Janice, his sons Michael and David, and his grandchildren. Life sometimes gives you presents. For me, my initial encounter with Janice and Alvin was a precious gift.

  • The Harper Years Lecture 12: POL 312Y Canadian Foreign Policy Copyright: Professor John Kirton, University of Toronto All Rights Reserved November 26, 2013
    The Harper Years Lecture 12: POL 312Y Canadian Foreign Policy Copyright: Professor John Kirton, University of Toronto All rights reserved November 26, 2013 Introduction On January 23, 2006, Canadians elected Stephen Harper’s Conservatives with a minority government of 124 seats, compared to 103 for Paul Martin’s Liberals, 51 for the separatist Bloc Québécois, and 29 for the New Democratic Party (NDP). The 46-year-old Torontonian-turned-Albertan was formally sworn in as Canada’s 22nd prime minister on February 6, selected his Cabinet and started to govern. Immediately a public and scholarly debate arose about what Canadian foreign policy would be (Kirton 2007, 2006). After Harper won a second, stronger minority government of 143 seats on October 14, 2008 and then a majority government in the general election of May 8, 2011, this debate continued, now among six schools of thought. The Debate The first school pointed, in authentic peripheral dependant (PD) fashion, to “restrained Americanism.” It predicted that Harper would seek a cooperative relationship with the U.S., limited only by Harper’s fragile majority position and absence of ideological partners in Parliament. Janice Stein forecast a “greater affinity with U.S. positions internationally,” including a pro-American tilt on relations with the Middle East and the United Nations (McCarthy 2006). Joseph Jockel, Christopher Sands, David Biette, and Dwight Mason thought the tone and ease of the Canada-U.S. relationship would improve, as Harper made good on his defence promises. But they felt that the Shamrock Summit– like closeness of Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan would be avoided, given Harper’s minority position at home (Koring 2006).

  • Measures Taken by Justice Canada to Address Practices in Warrant Matters Before the Federal Court of Canada
    Fact sheet: Measures taken by Justice Canada to Address Practices in Warrant Matters before the Federal Court of Canada In July 2020, the Federal Court issued a decision in which it found that institutional failings by both the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Department of Justice Canada led to a breach of CSIS’s duty of candour to the Court in failing to proactively identify and disclose all relevant facts in support of warrant applications. As a result, the Court has recommended a comprehensive external review of the policies and practices of Justice Canada and CSIS in this area. Both lawyers and witnesses owe important duties to the administration of justice. When seeking an ex parte authorization such as a search warrant, an informant has an obligation to present all material facts, favourable or not, in support of the warrant application. Prior to the Court’s decision, Justice Canada had been working on a number of measures to address issues of duty of candour, best practices on warrant measures, and the sharing of legal information in the national security context, as well as updating its legal risk framework. Highlights of the measures already taken are summarized in the chart below. Measure Description Murray Segal and In 2016, the Government of Canada retained Murray Segal, John Sims Reports a former Deputy Attorney General of Ontario, to provide advice on best practices in warrant matters. In 2017, John Sims, a former Deputy Minister of Justice and Deputy Attorney General of Canada, provided advice on implementing the Segal Report and more effectively managing and conducting warrant applications before the Federal Court.

  • Report of the Third Independent Review Authority to the Minister of National Defence Pursuant to Subsection 273.601(1) of the National Defence Act, RSC 1985, C N-5
    Report of the Third Independent Review Authority to the Minister of National Defence Pursuant to subsection 273.601(1) of the National Defence Act, RSC 1985, c N-5 The Honourable Morris J. Fish, C.C., Q.C. April 30, 2021 i INTRODUCTION I Canada’s system of military justice is deeply rooted in the fertile medium of necessity, tradition and history. Of necessity, it differs in important respects from its civilian counterpart. By tradition, and as a matter of commitment, it has remained loyal to its distinct characteristics – and correspondingly resistant to external oversight, civilian influence, and proposed reforms that would impact the chain of command. As for its history, Canada’s military justice system has always been separate from our civilian system of justice and it embraces that historical fact. These deep roots are solidly embedded and, in some respects, stubbornly entrenched. But our military justice system must nonetheless conform with evolving social values and contemporary legal norms. It has partly for that reason been made subject by Parliament to external scrutiny, at fixed intervals, by an Independent Review Authority.1 As the Supreme Court of Canada noted in Stillman, these independent reviews facilitate the continuing evolution of our military justice system by “ensuring the system is rigorously scrutinized, analyzed, and refined at regular intervals”.2 I am the Third Independent Review Authority.3 My mandate has required me to “rigorously scrutinize and analyze” the structure and operation of Canada’s military justice system writ large,4 and I have sought to do so with due regard to its distinct needs and objectives.
