Summary
Bill No. 32 is a government bill introduced in the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly that makes changes to the Judicature Act — the law that sets out how New Brunswick's courts are organized, how judges are appointed, and how the court system operates. The bill was sponsored by Hon. Robert McKee, K.C., representing Moncton Centre for the Liberal Party. Because the full text of the amendments is not available in the provided document, the specific changes being made to the Judicature Act cannot be detailed here. However, amendments to the Judicature Act typically deal with matters such as court administration, the number or composition of judges, court procedures, or the jurisdiction of various courts in the province. The bill passed Second Reading on March 25, 2026, meaning the legislature agreed in principle to move forward with it. It appears alongside related legislation dealing with complaints against Provincial Court judges and adjudicators, suggesting the amendments may be connected to judicial oversight or court reform efforts.
