Description:
International panel slams Stephen Harper for treatment of Supreme Court justice. The investigation by the ICJ, a group of international lawyers, judges and academics, cleared McLachlin of any inappropriate behaviour but came down hard on Harper and MacKay for impugning the reputation of the chief justice.“The ICJ remains of the view that the Prime Minister and Minister of Justice could best remedy their encroachment upon the independence and integrity of the judiciary by publicly withdrawing or apologizing for their public criticism of the Chief Justice,” says the letter, written by ICJ secretary general Wilder Tayler.
