As far as I can tell, you don't say "Rt. Hon. Madam Chief Justice" for the same reason you wouldn't say "Rt. Hon. Mr. Chief Justice." - Montrealais

Perhaps she gets the extra title because she served as Deputy Governor General that time... but I'm not sure about that or whether it would follow her afterwords Melander 07:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children

"She has one son by her first marriage to Roderick McLachlin, who died in 1988." - does this mean her son died, or her husband died ? I think it means her husband but its a little confusing Dowew 16:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I think I fixed the offending sentence properly... It was tough to word. Bravado 01:41, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deputy Governor General

Would it be appropriate to include here that Mme. McLachlin is also the Deputy Governor General of Canada? FiveParadox 06:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

She is only one of nine.

True enough. :) Would it be appropriate then, to mention that she is one of nine Deputy Governors General? FiveParadox 20:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be more than appropriate to add that she holds these responsibilities, with a note that she shares them with the puisne judges of the Court. PoliSciMaster 02:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not just put it in the articles for Chief Justice of Canada and/or Puisne Justice? The duty is not unique to her and is general enough that it doesn't seem worth noting in every judge bio. --PullUpYourSocks 14:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing picture

What happened to the picture of Ms. McLachlin? Did someone suddenly decide that it was invalid? NorthernThunder 01:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
