The Federal Court of Appeal is a court established by Parliament in accordance with provision of section 101 of the Constitution Act, 1867, "for the better administration of the laws of Canada".
It is important, therefore, that the Federal Court of Appeal and its judges be perceived as independent and impartial.
Canada's tradition of judicial independence guarantees that the courts will continue to be accessible to everyone and that the proceedings remain public, transparent and free of interference from the government.
