Manitoba Chief Justice Nominated to Supreme Court

Manitoba’s Chief Justice Glenn Joyal, a seasoned legal veteran with over 25 years on the bench, has been nominated by Prime Minister Mark Carney to join Canada’s Supreme Court. Praised for his integrity, judgment, and dedication to justice reform and reconciliation, Joyal succeeds Justice Sheilah L. Martin. With honors including the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and recognition from the University of Manitoba, his nomination follows a rigorous process including parliamentary review. The Supreme Court, composed of nine justices, requires candidates to have at least ten years of superior court experience or bar membership, and Joyal meets all criteria — including bilingualism and regional balance — as the nation prepares for his potential appointment.
