Mr. Speaker, the judicial appointment process for the Supreme Court of Canada is very strict and, more importantly, confidential. People involved in the process adhere to very strict confidentiality agreements not to disclose any information about the process or the potential candidates. The reputation of eminent jurists in Canada is at stake.
The leak of confidential information about the potential appointment of Justice Joyal is completely unacceptable.
We want to know who disclosed the information.
