Question and Answer Session with the Honourable Sheilah Martin
December 5, 2017
The Honourable Sheilah Martinis the Prime Minister of Canada’s Nominee for an Appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada. Martin’s nomination to the highest court was announced last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. She’s set to fill the spot of Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, who steps down on Dec. 15 after 28 years on the court.
Tuesday’s special joint meeting of the House of Commons and Senate justice committees was Martin’s first public appearance since the announcement, and she used it to stress the importance of listening to all sides and ensuring every citizen feels they have access to the justice system.
Professor François Larocque made the opening remarks and was also the moderator.
