The chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada co-chaired a committee on COVID-19 with the federal minister of Justice since 2020, a BC activist discovered.

Kari Simpson, founder of Culture Guard, shared her discoveries with the Western Standard.

Culture Guard is a lobby group dedicated to the natural family, parental rights, the sanctity of life, liberty, respect, judicial accountability and the proper rule of law.

“Commencing on May 8, 2020, and unbeknownst to most lawyers challenging COVID lockdowns, job loss, and Charter violations, Chief Justice [Richard] Wagner and Minister of Justice for Canada David Lametti formed a joint committee on court operation and how to respond,” Simpson wrote in a document summarizing her discoveries.

“This is concerning in and of itself, but the list of committee members casts a troubling light on who was influencing judicial decision making.”
