NEWS RELEASE
February 23, 2006
Ottawa, OntarioPrime Minister Stephen Harper and Justice Minister Vic Toews today announced Marshall Rothstein as the Government’s nominee for the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Marshall Rothstein, a Federal Court of Appeal judge from Manitoba, was selected from the short-list presented to the previous Government.
“Marshall Rothstein’s candidacy was scrutinized by a comprehensive process initiated by the previous Government that included members from all the political parties,” said Prime Minister Harper. “I believe he has the qualifications necessary to serve Canadians well from the country’s highest court.”
Mr. Rothstein has agreed to answer questions from an ad hoc all-party committee on Monday, February 27. The televised hearing will mark the first time in Canadian history that a Supreme Court nominee will face questions from Members of Parliament.
“I am looking forward to watching the ad hoc committee’s work and listening to Mr. Rothstein’s answers. This hearing marks an unprecedented step towards the more open and accountable approach to nominations that Canadians deserve,” concluded the Prime Minister. […]
I was leaning more toward…. winning means something, and Prime Minister Harper should have picked his own.
