On April 4, 2022, the Prime Minister of Canada opened the process to select the next justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the Honourable Michael J. Moldaver on September 1, 2022.
Under the process, used for the first time in 2016, an independent and non-partisan Advisory Board has again been given the task of reviewing all applications, and identifying qualified and functionally bilingual candidates for the Prime Minister’s consideration.
The Advisory Board’s Terms of Reference stipulate that, in establishing a list of three to five qualified and functionally bilingual candidates, members must seek to support the Government of Canada’s intent to achieve a gender-balanced Supreme Court of Canada that also reflects the diversity of members of Canadian society, including Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of ethnic, linguistic and other minority communities, including those whose members’ gender identity or sexual orientation differs from that of the majority.
In recognition of the convention of regional representation, this process is open to candidates from the province of Ontario. Candidates may demonstrate that they satisfy the geographical requirement by reference to their bar membership, judicial appointment or other relationship with Ontario. The question of whether a candidate is functionally bilingual will be assessed by the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs, in accordance with established and objective criteria.
