In a provincial media release issued on Tuesday, Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said Ouellette has served in many roles and has distinguished herself.
Ouellette is currently the chair of the Saskatchewan Legal Aid Commission; she will step down once she takes over the PCC chair.
She is also a board member of the Canadian Foundation for Legal Research and a member of the Federal Judicial Advisory Committee.
Ouellette was not available for an interview.
The PCC investigates complaints made by members of the public against municipal police in Saskatchewan. Under the provincial Police Act, its chair and vice-chair are appointed on the recommendation of the minister after consulting with the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers and The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.
