Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould is condemning leaks to reporters this week about confidential deliberations in 2017 to appoint a new chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and she says the government should consider an investigation.
“I strongly condemn anyone who would speak about or provide information on such sensitive matters,” she said in an emailed statement. “This has to stop and given the seriousness of this matter I feel that there should be consideration of having some sort of investigation as to the source of this information.”
David Lametti, Wilson-Raybould’s successor as justice minister and attorney general, posted a statement on Wednesday saying he’s “concerned” by the publication of details of the Supreme Court selection process, but did not address whether an investigation should be launched.
