Prime Minister Mark Carney has initiated the process to fill the upcoming Supreme Court of Canada vacancy following Justice Sheilah Martin’s retirement at the end of May.

The Montreal-born judge was appointed in December of 2017 and will step down on May 30, before her 70th birthday. She is retiring well before the mandatory retirement age of 75.
