Liberal judicial donor appointments continue after a decade in power, with Attorney General Sean Fraser dismissing concerns.
“I will on occasion have a candidate’s political activities flagged before a final appointment is made,” Fraser testified at the Commons justice committee Monday, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
In 2023, the Department of Justice said ministers do not receive information on political donations or affiliation when assessing judicial candidates.
“That is not something I seek information about before making appointments,” Fraser clarified, adding that aides tell him in due course.
