Agathon Fric* Popping the Question: What the Questionnaire for Federal Judicial Appointments Reveals about the Pursuit of Justice, Diversity, and the Commitment to Transparency Since 2017, the Canadian government has published excerpts from questionnaires that prospective judges completed as part of the judicial selection process, subjecting newly appointed superior and federal court judges to a degree of scrutiny that is unprecedented in Canadian history. Using this novel source material, this article explores what a sample of 16 judges’ questionnaires do and do not say about the individuals behind the robes. This review suggests that those appointed to the bench in 2017 generally demonstrate insight into the judicial role in Canada.

    December 17, 2019 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Langevin Block Ottawa, ON, K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister, Congratulations on your re-election to the House of Commons and your swearing-in as Prime Minister of Canada. I write to you on behalf of Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights – formerly Planned Parenthood Canada – a progressive, pro-choice charitable organization committed to advancing and upholding sexual and reproductive health and rights in Canada and globally. As you begin your second mandate as Prime Minister, we urge you to take action on the following issues which require coordination across ministries: 1. Address uneven access to abortion care across the country – including by enforcing the Canada Health Act We were pleased to hear your commitments to address persisting barriers regarding abortion access across the country, including in New Brunswick. Access to abortion remains a serious concern for many across the country. Only one hospital in six offers abortion in Canada. Unnecessarily rules and regulations at provincial and territorial levels, or within regional health systems and hospital settings, prevent access. Many people seeking care have to travel large distances to access abortion, and often must travel to the US for abortion services post-23 weeks, face interference and intimidation from anti-choice organizations and activists that often mislead, confuse, and delay individuals seeking an abortion, or experience harassment, threats, violence, and intimidation from anti-choice protesters outside of sexual health clinics and hospitals which provide abortion. Your urgent action is required to address the discriminatory regulation 84-20 of New Brunswick’s Medical Services Payment Act.

  • News Release
    FIRST NATIONS LEADERSHIP COUNCIL News Release For Immediate Release January 18, 2019 First Nations Leadership Council concerned about Federal Cabinet Shuffle and New Direction in Relationship Coast Salish Traditional Territory/Vancouver: The First Nations Leadership Council is deeply concerned that the recent shuffle in the federal Liberal cabinet signals a wavering commitment to addressing Canada’s colonial history and to realizing a true nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced adjustments to the government cabinet on January 14, 2019 with the appointment of Minister Seamus O’Reagan to the Department of Indigenous Services Canada, reassigning MP Jane Philpott to a Treasury Board appointment and the replacement of MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, now of Minister of Veteran Affairs, with Minister David Lametti, as Attorney General and Minister of Justice. While BC Regional Chief Terry Teegee looks forward to working with the ministers in their new roles, the sweeping First Nations issues across this country require dedicated and consistent attention to ensure progress. “Advances made on the Nation-to-Nation relationship through reconciliation efforts and the work of Jody Wilson-Raybould and others has been positive and I hold up my hands to these ministers and the good work they have done. However, continued momentum is required on these important efforts and I call on the new Ministers to ensure that this work continues and that the relationship between the Federal Crown and Indigenous Peoples continue to be a priority for this government.” Cheryl Casimer, First Nations Summit political executive member said "The Prime Minister has said on numerous occasions that there was no relationship more important to him than that between himself and Indigenous Peoples of his country.
