OTTAWA – The third quadrennial Military Judges Compensation Committee report on the compensation of military judges is now available on the DND website. The Committee was established under the authority of the National Defence Act for the purpose of conducting regular inquiries into the adequacy of military judges' remuneration. In forming its recommendations, the Committee considered written submissions from the military judges and the Government of Canada and held a public hearing where both parties presented their positions and answered questions from Committee members.
Under the National Defence Act, the Minister has until April 29, 2009, to respond to the report.
