Canadian Judicial Council recommends Quebec judge be removed from office
OTTAWA — The Canadian Judicial Council is recommending that a Quebec Superior Court justice be removed from office.
A committee of the council found in a report last November that Michel Girouard attempted to mislead and conceal the truth during a review of drug-related allegations against him.
That report was the second investigation stemming from allegations from a police informant in 2012 who said Girouard bought drugs from him in 2010, when the judge was still a lawyer.
The council issued a statement Tuesday to say it agreed with last fall’s findings.
