MONTREAL A recent spat over language and bilingualism between Quebec s justice minister and the province s chief justice is raising serious concerns about the independence of the judiciary in the court system. According to La Presse, Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette refused to require bilingualism in the selection of a new Quebec Court judge in the Longueuil district, despite a longstanding tradition of naming bilingual judges in the Greater Montreal Area. Every citizen has the right when addressing the court, no matter in what capacity, either as a witness or a lawyer, to choose English or French, explained Quebec Court Chief Justice Lucie Rondeau.

The Halifax Regional Municipality has revoked the demolition permit for a construction project at the corner of Oxford and North streets.
The decision comes after stop-work orders were issued in December by both HRM and the province when Mosaik Properties began tearing down the residential building at 6399 North St.
The demolition got underway before a final tenant had moved out and while a hearing at the Residential Tenancies Board was pending. The province s stop-work order has since been lifted, but Halifax s order is still in effect. The tenant is no longer living in the building.
