  • COURT JUSTICES, 1985-2013 Jean-Christophe Bédard-Rubin
    Paper prepared for the 2018 CPSA Annual Conference – Please do not cite nor circulate without permission HOW MUCH FRENCH DO THEY SPEAK ANYWAY? A BILINGUALISM INDEX FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, 1985-2013 Jean-Christophe Bédard-Rubin & Tiago Rubin Draft paper prepared for the CPSA 2018 Annual Conference. Please do not cite nor circulate without permission. Mandatory bilingualism for Supreme Court judges tantalizes Canadian politics for at least ten years now. The advocates of judicial bilingualism have repeatedly tried (and failed) to enshrine into law the requirement for Supreme Court justices to be functionally bilingual, i.e. the ability to “read materials and understand oral argument without the need for translation or interpretation in French and English”. For them, integrating mandatory bilingualism as a legislative requirement in the appointment process is a panacea. Their opponents argue that language proficiency in French should not be a sine qua non condition for Supreme Court justiceship and that requiring it would prevent excellent candidates from being appointed. However, despite the fact that empirical statements abound on both sides, there is very little empirical evidence regarding the actual impact of unilingualism and bilingualism on Canadian judicial institutions and simply no evidence whatsoever about its impact on individual judges’ behavior. Building on our ongoing research on judicial bilingualism, in this paper we try to evaluate the level of bilingualism of individual justices. What our findings suggest is that the behavior of Francophone and Anglophone bilinguals is influenced by the linguistic competency of their colleagues. Our findings also suggest that some Anglophone justices that are deemed to be bilinguals do not behave very differently from their unilingual colleagues.

  • The Pitfalls of Métis Renaissance Since the 1970S
    Ursula Lehmkuhl Paradoxes of Resistance and Resilience: The Pitfalls of Métis Renaissance since the 1970s TransCanadiana 8, 52-72 2016 Ursula Lehmkuhl University of Trier PARADOXES OF RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE: THE PITFALLS OF MÉTIS RENAISSANCE SINCE THE 1970S Abstract On March 8, 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada published its decision on the case Manitoba Metis Federation Inc. v. Canada, according to which the Canadian government recognized the rights of the Métis to negotiate about their claims resulting from the treaty Louis Riel had established with the Crown in the context of the 1870 Manitoba Act. The Supreme Court ruled that the Crown by not fulfilling its promises under the Manitoba Act had breached its honour to the Métis. In addition, the Supreme Court recognized the Manitoba Métis Federation as a body representing the Métis as a “nation.” The court decision has been characterized as a turning point in the history of Canada and, more specifically, the history of Canadian Métis. With this paper, I will present some preliminary interpretations of this historic event and answer the following questions: What are the underlying normative and ideational concepts that inform the court decision? How can the decision be historically situated in the century-long history of Métis resistance and resilience? And to what extent and in which regard did the court decision change the situation of the Métis? Résumé Le 8 mars 2013, la Cour suprême du Canada a publié sa décision sur le cas du Manitoba Metis Federation Inc. c. Canada, selon laquelle le gouvernement du Canada a reconnu les droits des Métis à négocier au sujet de leurs réclamations résultant du traité Louis Riel, établi avec la Couronne dans le cadre de la Loi 1870 sur le Manitoba.

Diversity, Transparency & Inclusion in Canada’s Judiciary Samreen Beg and Lorne Sossin Introduction “Of 100 new federally appointed judges 98 are white, Globe finds”.1 This arresting headline from the Globe and Mail in 2012 created waves in the legal community and beyond. While it was known that the Canadian judiciary – particularly federal judicial appointments2 – suffered from problems related to diversity and inclusion, the extent of the problem had not been explicitly laid out before. The headline and report that followed not only highlighted the fact that the judiciary was not seeing any progress with respect to representation, but was actually regressing from gains that had been made in previous years. Canada is one of the most culturally, ethnically, religiously and linguistically diverse countries in the world.

  • Tugging at the Strands: Adverse Effects Discrimination and the Supreme Court Decision in Fraser
    November 9, 2020 Tugging at the Strands: Adverse Effects Discrimination and the Supreme Court Decision in Fraser By: Jennifer Koshan and Jonnette Watson Hamilton Case Commented On: Fraser v Canada (Attorney General), 2020 SCC 28 (CanLII) On October 16, 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada released its long-awaited decision in Fraser v Canada (Attorney General), 2020 SCC 28 (CanLII). Fraser involved a claim of adverse effects discrimination by female RCMP members who lost their entitlement to full pension benefits when they entered temporary job-sharing arrangements. We blogged on the Federal Court of Appeal decision in Fraser here, and – in the interests of disclosure – also participated in the Supreme Court intervention in Fraser by the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) (for LEAF’s news release following the Fraser decision, see here). Fraser is the first successful adverse effects claim under section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in over 20 years and it is the first ever successful adverse effects claim under section 15 in a sex discrimination context. This post will focus on the typical challenges that have been faced in adverse effects claims and review how Justice Rosalie Abella’s majority decision in Fraser responded to these problem areas, which were also apparent in the lower court decisions in Fraser. Although Justice Abella wrote for the majority of the Court (Chief Justice Richard Wagner and Justices Michael Moldaver, Andromache Karakatsanis, Sheilah Martin and Nicholas Kasirer, as well as herself), we will refer to the judgment as hers because it appears to be the culmination of her life-long work on equality rights and may be her last judgment on this subject before her retirement in 2021.

Also in this issue: Christian Leuprecht calls for a national discussion on how we can detain terrorist threats while still protecting civil liberties; Dwight Newman and Brian Lee Crowley on social licence, what it means, its limitations and its implications for resource development; Dwight Newman on whether governments should use legal tools to support development when facing continuing protests; and Brian Lee Crowley calls on middle powers to do more to defend liberal democratic values as the US takes a diminished role on the world stage.
