Michelle O’Bonsawin has been nominated to the Supreme Court of Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced, in a move that would make the experienced judge the first Indigenous person to ever sit on the nation’s top court.
In a statement on Friday, Trudeau praised O’Bonsawin, who has served as an Ontario Superior Court justice since 2017, as “an accomplished jurist” with expertise in mental health, human rights, labour and employment law.
