The federal justice minister has written a letter to the Supreme Court’s chief justice saying he’s “proud” of the Liberal government's record on appointing judges.Justice Minister Arif Virani has written a letter to the Supreme Court of Canada's Chief Justice Richard Wagner describing the federal government's progress on appointing judges.
Virani's letter to Chief Justice Wager attempted to address those criticisms. In it, the minister said that since becoming justice minister and attorney general in July 2023, his "top priority has been filling federal judicial vacancies." "It is important to stress that several of the positions remaining to be filled are the result of our government's work to increase the capacity of courts and support access to justice by funding new judicial positions," he wrote.
Wagner praised the new process in his 2023 letter, saying that "it would be unfortunate if the failure to improve the pace of federal judicial appointments … were to ultimately discredit this process."
