Show Notes
Four provincial premiers propose significant changes to federal judicial appointments, advocating for provincial involvement in selecting judges for higher courts. They suggest shortlists recommended by provincial governments and equal access to candidate background checks. Despite Justice Minister Sean Frasers support for the current system, the proposal comes amidst forty-two judicial vacancies nationwide. Premiers argue that increased provincial input would better match local needs, enhance diversity, and strengthen public trust in the courts.
