(historic emblem) The “Cormier Emblem,” created by the distinguished Montréal architect Ernest Cormier who designed the Supreme Court building in Ottawa, is embedded in the marble floor of its grand hall. It shows two stylized capital letters, S and C, for “Supreme Court,” and laurels, typical of judicial symbolism.
