DescriptionPrime Minister Stephen Harper announced today that future nominees to the Supreme Court of Canada will face questions from an all-party committee of MPs.

It will be the first time in Canadian history that Supreme Court justices will face a hearing before ascending to the bench.

Members of Parliament, however, will not have the power to veto any nominees it disagrees with. The prime minister will still have the last word.
