Whereas #1, The whole area of judicial appointments, how they are made, the selection criteria, who makes the selection, required study and debate; and,
Whereas #2, Judicial appointments in Canada have not reflected the diversity of the population although recent provincial appointments have included women in rising numbers; therefore, be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to set in a place a review of the judicial appointment procedure and that a system be placed in motion to ensure that 50% of all newly appointed judges be women.
