2. When a judge must be appointed, the Minister shall publish then or during the 6 months preceding the vacancy that must be filled, a notice in the journal of the Barreau du Québec or in a national, regional or local newspaper inviting interested persons to submit their candidacy for the selection procedure and informing all persons that they may propose the candidacy of a person that they consider apt to perform a judge’s duty.
However, when a new vacancy occurs less than 3 months after being filled, the Minister is not obliged to publish a new notice if there are persons apt for appointment as judges to that court under section 22.
