Clément Gascon CC KC (born September 5, 1960) is a Canadian jurist, who was nominated to the Supreme Court of Canada by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on June 3, 2014,[1] and officially appointed the Court on June 9, 2014.
[3] Gascon was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1982 and in addition to his legal practice (in business, labour and construction law) was also a lecturer at Cégep de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Université du Québec à Montreal, McGill University and Bar of Quebec.
Three concurring justices instead argued that this context was not due judicial deference and instead required review for correctness.
[7] On the evening of May 8, 2019, the Ottawa Police Service issued a notice asking for the public's help in locating Gascon, who had not been seen since early the same afternoon.
[8][9] Gascon later announced he had had a panic attack, related in part to his recent decision to retire early from the Court.
