JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) The process of appointing federal judges will be changed before the end of the year to remove any hint of unseemly political patronage, Justice Minister John Crosbie promised Monday. But although the government will set up a formal system of consultations with provincial attorneys general, lawyers, judges and other groups, it will not be bound by their advice, Crosbie told the Canadian Bar Association council. "The discretion of the minister of justice, whether it is exercised by me or by my successors, should be guided, not circumscribed," he told the decision- Election lineup growing By Wayne Kondro (Herald Edmonton bureau) EDMONTON The Conservative election lineup of incumbents and comeback politicians grew longer Monday when two more MLAs won the right without challenge to again carry the Tory banner. Environment Minister Fred Bradley (Pincher Creek-Crowsnest) and Forestry Minister Don Sparrow (Wetaskiwin-Leduc) have been re-nominated by acclamation as Progressive Conservative election candidates, the deadlines having passed for challengers to file papers to run against the MLAs.
Parks and Recreation Minister Peter Trynchy, meanwhile, has announced he will be seeking renomination in Whitecourt. The re-nomination of Bradley and brings to 51 the number already selectSparrow, ed for Premier Don Getty's election team. Only seven of the 51 are not incumbents. Of the seven, two are entering the provincial fray from careers on the federal scene. Peter Elzinga is stepping aside as MP for Pembina to seek a provincial seat in Sherwood Park, while Stan Schumacher, who for 11 years represented the federal riding of Palliser, will contest Drumheller.
Also making a political comeback is Catherine Chichak, former Edmonton Norwood MLA unseated during a Tory nomination contest in 1982. But she will again run in Norwood. Only one incumbent has been unsuccessful this nomination season. Edmonton Glengarry MLA Rollie Cook was unseated by Thor Broda. Muriel Abdurahman will run for the Tories in Clover Bar, a riding currently held by Representative Party MLA Walter Buck.
The last new face, oilman Rick Orman, will wear Tory colors in Calgary Montrose, a new riding. Also on the nomination scene, northern Alberta Tory fundraiser John Chomiak announced Monday he will not contest the Edmonton Calder seat vacated by retiring Public Works Minister Tom Chambers. Schoolteacher Tony Falcone, who lost in Edmonton Norwood to Opposition leader Ray Martin in 1982, is also seeking the nomination. Also in the race is Dean Sanduga, president of the Calder Tory association. In Banff-Cochrane, a former coal miner and Canmore councillor was acclaimed as the New Democratic candidate during the weekend.
Ed Fisher, 65, former editor of the Canmore Miner and a former Canmore town councillor, was chosen at a meeting attended by 20 people in Canmore. making body for the country's 33,000 lawyers. "I would not wish to be limited in the type or amount of consultation I deem necessary for any appointment." The announcement at a harbor -front hotel here was welltimed. The more than 200 lawyers attending the meeting had just finished debating a committee report on patronage appointments to the bench. Most lawyers seemed to agree with the report's conclusion that patronage and the appearance of patronage in the selection of judges i is undermining confidence in the justice system.
And although they withheld official endorsement of the re- port pending further discussion today, they seemed to agree with a proposal for an advisory body to help federal and provincial governments pick judges. The report suggests advisory could prepare lists of candidates from which ministers would make their selection. Despite his insistence on ministerial discretion, Crosbie told reporters he has not necessarily ruled out the possibility of giving an advisory committee such power. He said he will consider that, and other proposals, during the next few months and make his recommendations to cabinet in May. Despite Crosbie's promise of reform, he poked fun at patronage concerns during his half-hour speech.
"Patronage," he said, quoting from the Oxford dictionary, "is described as the dispensing of appointments." Nothing too sinister about that, he noted. The opinion was different in committee rooms where lawyers huddled away from the snow and fog that swept in from the Atlantic early this morning bringing a "mauzy day," Newfoundland lingo for grey and wet. The lawyers were united in their call for changes in the appointment process, although they disagreed on what personal and professional criteria are essential for a future judge.
