Justice Minister Andrew Swan is in Thompson today for the swearing in of two northern Manitoba Judges.   Swan comments here about the two new appointees.

"Miss Catherine Hembroff is a crown attorney who practiced most of her career in The Pas.   And, of course,  Alain Huberdeau is  very, very well-respected in the Thompson community.   Alain was actually given a special award by the Manitoba Bar Association which represents 1400 lawyers in the province.  He got a special award last year for his community involvement."

Hembroff received her law degree from the University of Manitoba in 1996 and Huberdeau received his in 1998 form the University of Moncton.  

The ceremony will take place today at 11:30 in courtroom A of the Thompson Courtroom located in the Provincial Building.
