Court Decisions
T-16, r. 4.1 - Regulation respecting the selection procedure of candidates for the office of judge of the Court of Québec, municipal court judge and presiding justice of the peace
Section 26
Disposition versions
26. In order to allow the Minister to make a recommendation to the Cabinet, the selection committee draws up a report indicating, in alphabetical order, the names of the 3 best candidates the committee proposes, namely, those whose application best meets the criteria set out in section 25, to be appointed as judges. Where a competition is held for more than one office, the number of candidates proposed must be 3 for each additional office and a candidate may only be proposed for one office. The decision on the proposed candidates is made by the majority of the members.
Where 3 candidates or less submit their application for an office, the committee so indicates in the report and proposes each candidate. If the Minister cannot choose one of the candidates to be recommended to the Cabinet, the competition is cancelled for that office.
In its report, the committee gives a personalized appreciation of the proposed candidates.
No political affiliation may be considered by the committee when assessing the applications and making proposals to the Minister or by the Minister when choosing a candidate to be recommended to the Cabinet.
