The justices in the Supreme Court of Canada are by the constitution, appointed by the Prime Minister. This method of appointing should be changed to include the people of Canada as the justices that are being chosen are of the most powerful people in the country as they deal with very important issues in Canadian society and the public deserves to know just who these candidates are. In connection, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer Phillip Crawley suggested that, “there should be a parliamentary hearing at which the candidate for the job should say a few words about what he or she thinks of the law, about the relationship of the courts to the legislators, and- in more than a beauty contest, how I would improve the world kind of way- judgement on some of the toughest, more intractable issues Canadians must wrestle with.” Therefore, if this parliamentary hearing were implemented the public would have the opportunity to learn about the possible justices of the Supreme Court before the appointment by the Prime Minister is made to ensure that, as Phillip Crawley said, “there are no unpleasant surprises waiting should this or that candidate be elevated.”
