Mr. William A. Brooks
Commissioner
Office of the Commissioner for Judicial Affairs Canada

Mr. Norman Sabourin
Executive Director/Senior General Counsel
Canadian Judicial Council

Gentlemen:

CyberSmokeBlog has been referred to you by court administrators regarding the following questions:

(1) What is the Canadian Judicial Council's policy for use of television cameras during its inquiries?

(2) If a federally appointed Justice/Judge permanently retires then decides to write their memoirs, what constraints will they face in the material they're able to publish?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
