Proposal to reform the Supreme Court of Canada appointments process / Minister of Justice. : J2-490/2005E-PDF

"The Government’s proposal consists of a four-stage process. a. The Minister would conduct consultations as under the current process (with the Chief Justice of Canada, the provincial attorneys general in the region, the chief justices in the region, the local law societies and the Canadian Bar Association). From these consultations, an initial list of candidates would be developed. ... b. An advisory committee would be established as each vacancy arises to reflect the regional nature of the appointments, ... c. The Minister would complete such further consultations as considered necessary and provide his advice to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister would make his recommendation to Cabinet and, in all but the most exceptional circumstances, the appointment would be made from the short list. d. The Minister would appear before the Justice Committee after the appointment to explain the appointment process and the professional and personal qualities of the appointee."--Overview of proposal, pages 10-11.
