A new legislative proposal aims to change how the attorney general is appointed and the duration of their term. Under the plan, the attorney general would serve from the time of appointment until a new government takes office, at which point the incoming administration could either appoint a new attorney general immediately or extend the current officeholder's term for up to one hundred days. The bill also outlines that the attorney general would be chosen by the government, based on recommendations from the justice minister and the prime minister, and must meet the qualifications required of a Supreme Court justice. Notably, the proposal removes age restrictions and most political cooling-off requirements, except for recent involvement in a party's formal selection process.
