Relations between Trudeau, Wilson-Raybould began to fray over her Supreme Court pick: CTV News
A year before cabinet discussions about plea deal for Quebec engineering company SNC-Lavalin, Trudeau and Wilson-Raybould disagreed about her recommendation of Manitoba Justice Glenn D. Joyal, sources familiar with the matter tell CTV News.
Trudeau ultimately quashed Wilson-Raybould’s recommendation. Alberta judge Sheila Fraser was named to court in November 2017 and Justice Richard Wagner became chief justice. Wilson-Raybould denied to CTV News that there was any conflict over the Supreme Court appointment and said that the selection of a new Supreme Court judge is ultimately a decision for the prime minister.
Joyal is a former provincial Crown attorney who in 2011 was appointed to the position of Chief Justice of the Manitoba Court of the Queen’s Bench by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.
