Bill S-219 aims to establish a national day dedicated to judicial independence. This day, known as Judicial Independence Day, would be celebrated annually on a specific date to raise public awareness about the importance of judicial independence in maintaining the rule of law.

The main provisions of the bill include designating an official date for the celebration of this day and promoting educational and commemorative activities. These activities would aim to enhance understanding of the crucial role judicial independence plays in protecting citizens' rights and freedoms.

No existing laws are amended by this bill, which instead proposes the addition of a new commemorative day to the national calendar.

Those affected by this bill include members of the judiciary, legal professionals, and the general public, who would be encouraged to participate in activities organized for the day. Judicial institutions may also play a key role in promoting and organizing events.
