"What is the primary cause of the unacceptable delays in Canada's judicial system, and what are the immediate consequences?"

"Canada's judicial system faces crippling delays, with some cases taking over a year to be assigned a judge, even after judges provide six months' notice of retirement. This results in cases being dismissed due to exceeding time limits, particularly in criminal cases involving serious violent crimes, and civil cases are frequently postponed or "bumped." This impacts access to justice for all Canadians."

Does Bill C-13 comply with Section 41(d) of the Constitution Act, 1982, and what legal challenges might arise from its implementation?

The change potentially violates Section 41(d) of the Constitution Act, 1982, requiring unanimous consent from all provincial legislatures for Supreme Court composition changes, which was not obtained. The 2014 Nadon Reference reinforces this, indicating that even minor amendments to the Supreme Court Act require constitutional amendment; this new requirement may be similarly unconstitutional, and ignoring this precedent has severely limited the pool of qualified candidates.
