Thank you very much, Chair.
I'll pick up on Mr. Brock's line of questioning, and I'll start with Professor Devlin.
These are unique proceedings when it comes to looking at the conduct of our judiciary. All witnesses acknowledge that fact. They obviously go to the core of ensuring and maintaining, if not in fact enhancing, I would argue, confidence in our independent judiciary, so a fair bit of care and balance needs to be accomplished.
Professor Devlin, you feel that Bill C-9 does not accomplish that balance. Let me give you an opportunity to explain to us how that balance can be accomplished in such a way that we do not undermine the independent nature of our judicial system and the independent nature of our judges in particular, as individuals.
