The role that Parliament can play is making sure that the appointment process appoints not only legally competent lawyers but also suitable lawyers, lawyers who have a [Technical difficulty--Editor] character as well as the social awareness to be able to act as judges, to reflect the values of the Canadian community. To me, that means looking at the people we appointment and the process by which we choose people, but not mandating that it meets certain training requirements as part of the appointment process.
