Yes, but Mr. Cotler is not interested in material things. That's why I didn't ask him that question.
I'd like to move now to my second question. In the Bloc Québécois, we are interested in tying the mechanism for increasing judges' compensation to the one for elected representatives. This is a principle that we defend, and in the circumstances, we have the benefit of the subtle but clear leadership of our House Leader. As members of the Bloc Québécois, we are quite indignant at the idea that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court would, if this bill passes, be earning $3,000 more than the Prime Minister. We also believe that, in accordance with the principle of democratic legitimacy, judges should not earn more than members of Parliament.
Now, I wouldn't want you to immediately jump to the conclusion that I'm seeking a 10% wage increase. However, I am interested in hearing your opinion. Do you think we should consider linking salary increases for members of Parliament to those of judges?
