Submissions

"The CBABC has a demonstrated interest in improving and promoting the administration of justice in British Columbia. It will bring a perspective to the inquiry that is distinct from that of other parties, but one that is within the scope of the Commission. The CBABC respectfully submits that its submissions will be useful to the Commission and that it should be granted to standing to participate."

This submission outlines CBABC’s key recommendations for provincial investment for 2020, funding for legal aid services and the establishment of a Unified Family Court, as well as other areas we believe can be reformed to improve access to justice in British Columbia.

The CBA has a proud tradition of speaking out and protecting the independence of the judiciary and providing access to justice. Consequently, we urge this Commission to recommend to the government that both the Provincial Court Judges and Judicial Justices be fairly and reasonably compensated in order to uphold, preserve and protect the independence of the judiciary in British Columbia.

This submission is being made on behalf of the Children's Law Section of the Canadian Bar Association, British Columbia Branch. It has been prepared by the Executive Committee of the Children’s Law Section.
