Alberta's premier seeks more control over Supreme Court picks and relaxed bilingualism, citing fairness, sparking concerns over judicial independence.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is pushing for greater provincial influence over Supreme Court appointments and relaxed bilingualism requirements, arguing the current system favors Quebec and undermines Alberta’s representation.
She proposed a joint federal-provincial advisory committee and defended her stance as a bid for fairness, citing Quebec’s longstanding exemptions.
Critics warn the move risks politicizing the judiciary and weakening independence, while Smith maintains her goal is balanced federal-provincial cooperation and improved public trust in the justice system.
