The Government of Saskatchewan has accepted the recommendations of the 2011 Provincial Court Commission regarding salary increases and benefits for Provincial Court judges.
"The Provincial Government accepts the constitutionally-mandated process for negotiating judges' salaries and respects the independence of the judiciary," Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said. "Our province is well-served by highly competent and experienced Provincial Court judges."
The Provincial Court Commission is an independent body established under The Provincial Court Act, 1998 to complete an independent review of judicial remuneration and benefits. It is established every three years to make recommendations based on submissions from interested parties and the public.
The Supreme Court of Canada has established, on constitutional grounds, that provincial governments must use an independent compensation commission to consider judges' salaries. The Provincial Court Commission is independent from the provincial government, and the province's ability to reject the Commission's recommendations is strictly limited.
The 2011 Commission, chaired by William F. Hood, Q.C., held public hearings in Saskatoon and Regina. As a result of these hearings and submissions from interested parties and the public, the Commission recommended a salary increase equal to the Saskatchewan Consumer Price Index, plus an additional one per cent for each of the three fiscal years between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015. Provincial Court judges are currently paid $238,943 annually.
The Commission also recommended an increase of $150 to the judges' annual professional allowance.
