Supreme Court of Canada chief justice Richard Wagner speaks in court in a March 23, 2018, file photo. The review comes amid a parallel effort by the council to update its ethical guidance for judges — something last done more than 20 years ago. Wagner, who became chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada 15 months ago, said he has long wanted to look at how the judicial council and the courts themselves were working. Wagner said he hoped to be able to announce the results of the review within the next several months. Neither the justice minister nor Ministry of Justice had any comment.
