Message from the Acting Chief Administrator

On behalf of the Acting Chief Administrator, the Minister of Justice has tabled the 3rd Annual Report of the Courts Administration Service and announced leading-edge modernization projects for judicial courts in Canada.

The 2005-2006 Annual Report of the Acting Chief Administrator relates the work accomplished by the Service during the last fiscal year, as well as the projects achieved. The Annual Report, which was tabled at the House of Commons October 27, 2006, is now available on line (as well as the news release).

Welcome to the Courts Administration Service website.  We are a relatively new organization, established on July 2, 2003, with the bringing into force of the Courts Administration Service Act. Our mandate is to support the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and the Tax Court of Canada; ensure effective access for the public to these Courts in both official languages; and account to Parliament through the Minister of Justice for the effective use of the resources provided. Each of the Courts has its own site that deals specifically with the activities of the Court. I encourage you to provide your suggestions to help us respond to your needs for information and access to the Courts we serve. Thank you.

R.P. Guenette Acting Chief Administrator
