  • September 14, 2020 Hon. David Lametti, PC, MP Minister of Justice
    September 14, 2020 Hon. David Lametti, PC, MP Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of Canada House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister Lametti, Re: Appointment of BIPOC judges to Canada’s federal courts We are members of the legal community that represent and/or support clients in Canada’s federal courts. We are writing to urge you to take immediate action by appointing Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) judges to the federal courts and amending the criteria for their appointment to ensure the experiences of BIPOC applicants are valued. It is undeniable that the current racial composition of our federal courts does not reflect the diversity of Canada. Just last month, Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner highlighted the importance of racial representation on the bench in stating, “All Canadians should be able to see themselves reflected in their justice system. Justice should not make a person feel like an outsider or an ‘other’ when they confront it.”1 The legacy of centuries of institutional racism has led to a dominantly white federal bench making decisions governing the actions and behaviors of BIPOC communities, without ever having experienced the prejudices and racial biases faced by these communities. In the Federal Court’s current roster of 35 judges and 9 supernumeraries, there are only two BIPOC judges. This is especially troubling given that 63% of the Federal Court’s docket deals with immigration, refugee and Indigenous cases, areas in which almost all applicants are BIPOC.2 The Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada, despite commitments to racial inclusion, continue to be all white benches.

Power pool prices are forecast to stay between 6 and 7 cents per kilowatt-hour for the remainder of 2021. UTILITIES AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Supreme Court rules Canadian Carbon Tax is constitutional On 2021 March 25 in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Federal Government’s national carbon tax is entirely constitutional, putting an end to the two-year legal proceeding with conservative premiers over the policy. In the 405-page decision, Chief Justice Richard Wagner, speaking on behalf of the majority, found the Federal Government’s 2018 Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act — which requires provinces to meet minimum national standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by applying a price on the use of fossil fuels by large industries or consumers fueling their cars — “is critical to our response to an existential threat to human life in Canada and around the world.” Justice Malcolm Rowe and Justice Russell Brown wrote lengthy dissents, arguing the majority decision would give Ottawa precedent to set minimum national standards in other areas of provincial jurisdiction, “including intra-provincial trade and commerce, health, and the management of natural resources.” “This is a model of federalism that rejects our Constitution and rewrites the rules of Confederation,” Brown wrote.

  • Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’
    Oñati Socio-legal Series, v. 4, n. 4 (2014) – Law in the Age of Media Logic ISSN: 2079-5971 Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’ ∗ DAVID SCHNEIDERMAN Schneiderman, D., 2014. Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’. Oñati Socio-legal Series [online], 4 (4), 685-708. Available from: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2511239 Abstract Most of the recent appointees to the Supreme Court of Canada have participated in a new Canadian judicial nomination process initiated by the current Conservative government. As originally formulated in early policy platforms, the process was intended to mimic features of US Senate judicial confirmation hearings and so would highlight the distinction (popular in US political discourse) between ‘applying’ and ‘making’ law. This led to widespread fears that any new public process would politicize judicial appointments and functions at the Supreme Court. The process turned out to be much more tepid than anticipated and so raises questions about what Canadians may have learned as a consequence of this new nomination process. This paper undertakes a qualitative analysis of reporting of four nomination processes from a select number of Canadian newspapers. The main object is to determine the degree to which readers might have been alerted to the distinction between law and politics or, put another way, between judicial activism and restraint. It turns out that this framing was not dominant in the coverage and that, instead, distinctive Canadian political preoccupations, like language politics, got channeled through this new political opportunity structure.

In the second part, I explore some specific constitutional decisions of the Court — especially those concerning issues which in my view have important implications for the future of the Court and its constitutional jurisprudence. I. 2017: A YEAR IN REVIEW 2017 might best be described as a year in transition for the Supreme Court of Canada.

  • Case in Brief: Ewert V. Canada (Correctional Service) 2018 SCC 30 | Judgment of June 13, 2018 | on Appeal from the Federal Court of Appeal
    SUPREME COURT OF CANADA Case in Brief: Ewert v. Canada (Correctional Service) 2018 SCC 30 | Judgment of June 13, 2018 | On appeal from the Federal Court of Appeal Prison authorities must show that psychological and statistical tools used to make decisions about Indigenous inmates are effective for them, the Supreme Court has said. Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) runs federal prisons. Its goal is to help rehabilitate inmates, while protecting other inmates, staff, and society as a whole. To do this, it uses certain psychological and statistical tools to make decisions about inmates, like whether s/he is likely to reoffend or what kind of supports s/he should get. Under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, CSC has to “take all reasonable steps to ensure that any information about an offender that it uses is as accurate, up to date and complete as possible.” The Act also says CSC must make sure that its policies and programs are suitable for Indigenous offenders and take their specific needs and circumstances into account. Mr. Ewert is a federal inmate and identifies as Métis. He was serving two simultaneous life sentences for murder and attempted murder. Because certain tools used to make decisions about him were created based mostly on non-Indigenous people, Mr. Ewert argued they were less accurate for Indigenous persons like himself. He said that CSC was not following the law by using these tools on Indigenous offenders without proof that they worked. The Federal Court agreed with Mr. Ewert, but this was overturned by the Federal Court of Appeal.
