OTTAWA—Supreme Court of Canada Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella is not about to throw off her black judicial robes and bare her soul. Is it time to name an Indigenous judge to the Supreme Court of Canada? But make no mistake: Abella believes judges need to reflect the country at large. I really don’t know.”And on the question of bilingualism, Abella — who is bilingual — likewise doesn’t want to offer her opinion whether all Supreme Court judges should be. There have always been courses for new judges and for sitting judges about “the social environment” they’re going to be judging, she added.
