TORONTO The Ontario government introduced legislation Tuesday that would cement changes to how provincial judges are appointed, part of several reforms it said aim to increase access to justice.
The changes to the judicial appointment process sparked controversy when they were first presented last year, but the government said Tuesday it has made adjustments to reflect feedback from those in the justice system.
