Statement from CBA President Lynne Vicars on the appointment of Gary Anandasangaree as Justice Minister

March 14, 2025

The Canadian Bar Association welcomes the appointment of The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree as Minister of Justice and Attorney General. We look forward to working with him and his cabinet colleagues. We also want to thank former minister Arif Virani for his commitment to improving the justice system over the past few years, including his efforts to reduce judicial vacancies and strengthen access to justice.

The CBA and the federal government share a common commitment to upholding the rule of law, promoting access to justice, and ensuring a fair and efficient legal system for all Canadians. CBA members will continue offering their expertise and helping to shape laws and policies that reflect the evolving needs of society while maintaining the integrity of Canada's legal institutions.
