MPs and Senators will be back in Ottawa tomorrow to question a Supreme Court nominee and the justice minister

, chaired by Liberal MP Anthony Housefather. The witnesses will be Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti and former prime minister Kim Campbell, who is the chair of the Independent Advisory Board for Supreme Court of Canada Judicial Appointments.

Dean of the faculty of law at the University of Sherbrooke Genevieve Cartier will moderate that session, where the prospective new Supreme Court justice will take questions from members of both the House Justice Committee and the Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs. Representatives of the three parties not represented on those committees, the Bloc Quebecois, Green Party and People’s Party, will also be able to participate in the question and answer session.

It’s possible the opposition Conservatives and New Democrats on the House Justice Committee will look to use Thursday’s special summer meeting to raise what they see as a the contentious return of Gerald Butts to the Liberal fold.
