This agreement, signed
by the
provincial government and the judges of the
Provincial Division (as represented
by the Ontario Judges Association and the Ontario Family
Law Judges Association), created the
Provincial Judges Remuneration Commission and introduced «
binding arbitration» to the salary negotiations of the judges.
Although the SSAGs have not been legislated
by the federal or
provincial governments and therefore are not
binding law, they are regularly considered and relied on
by Canadian courts.
