Excerpt from the article:

A NDP private member’s bill – Bill C-232 – passed the House of Commons last week. The legislation would require that all future Supreme Court justices be bilingual. Specifically, the act says that:

“Section 5 of the Supreme Court Act is renumbered as subsection 5(1) and is amended by adding the following:

(2) In addition, any person referred to in subsection (1) may be appointed a judge who understands French and English without the assistance of an interpreter.”
