I have three comments. First, since the Conservatives have been in power, there has traditionally been a mechanism allowing parliamentarians to be consulted when a new judge is appointed to the Supreme Court. Is that the government's intention? It was not necessarily done by the Committee on Justice and Human Rights, it could be done by a special committee. Is it the government's intention to consult parliamentarians, even if this Maritimes appointment has already been made?
Second, could a parliamentary secretary tell us if the government's first bill is going to deal with the Youth Criminal Justice Act?
What are the priority bills that the government intends to bring to the committee, Mr. Chair?
