Justice Minister Sean Fraser says he has no plans to change how judges are appointed in Canada despite four premiers (Ford, Legault, Moe and Smith) writing to Prime Minister Mark Carney to ask for more of a say in the process.

“We haven’t changed our point of view that we believe that the judicial appointments process is functioning,” Fraser said Tuesday on his way into a cabinet meeting.

Fraser said there is already a mechanism by which the provinces can consult with the federal government over judicial appointments, and that process is working.

“If provinces want a greater role, we welcome them to take part in that consultation process when we reach out,” he said.
