Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission

 

The first quadrennial Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission was appointed in September 1999, pursuant to the Judges Act. Its mandate was to review and make recommendations to the Minister of Justice with regard to the compensation and benefits of federally appointed judges. The second quadrennial Commission has now been established to review judicial compensation and examine any outstanding issues. Commissioners are Roderick A. McLennan (Chair), Gretta Chambers and Earl A. Cherniak. They are appointed for four years. The final report of the second quadrennial Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission was delivered to the Minister of Justice on Monday May 31, 2004, pursuant to the provisions of Section 26(2) of the Judges Act.

The report is now public and accessible on this website (please see below). It is also possible to obtain a hard copy from the Executive Director at the Commission's office in Ottawa.
