Justice Malcolm Rowe formally appointed to Supreme Court of Canada
OTTAWA — Justice Malcolm Rowe has been formally appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Rowe, a former justice of the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal, was nominated to the court last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
He is the first justice appointed under a new process brought in by the Trudeau government in which people were asked to apply for the job and be vetted by an independent advisory board.
He was questioned by senators and MPs following his nomination.
