The Honourable Sébastien Grammond’s Questionnaire

Under the new judicial application process established by the Minister of Justice on October 20, 2016, any interested and qualified Canadian lawyer or judge may apply for appointment to the federal judiciary by completing a questionnaire to that effect. The questionnaires are then used by the Judicial Advisory Committees across Canada to review candidates and submit a list of “highly recommended” and “recommended” individuals for consideration by the Minister of Justice. Candidates are advised that parts of their questionnaire could be made available to the public, with their consent, should they be appointed to the bench. The information is published as it was submitted by the candidates at the time they applied, subject to editing where necessary for privacy reasons.
