I think we're extremely well positioned to protect judicial independence. The principle is well entrenched. I share that opinion with the justice that I had the good fortune of clerking for at the Supreme Court, Justice Peter Cory. I saw first-hand in a very intense way the manner in which justices exercise their judicial independence. I respect that principle quite firmly, and I think so does our government.
