Bill C-337 : an Act to amend the Judges Act and the Criminal Code (sexual assault) / Lyne Casavant [and four others].: YM32-3/421-C337E-PDF
"Bill C‑337, whose short title is the Judicial Accountability through Sexual Assault Law Training Act, has three central purposes: It adds a new eligibility requirement for lawyers to qualify to become a judge of a superior court in any province – namely, that they must have completed recent and comprehensive education in sexual assault law, as well as social context education, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs. It requires the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) to submit an annual report to Parliament through the Minister of Justice on the delivery and uptake of sexual assault law seminars established by the CJC. It requires reasons for decisions in sexual assault cases to be recorded or provided in writing"--Background, page 1.
