Mr. Fraser, I know what your position is on this, you have made it public. I thank you for that.
However, do you have enough money in your budget to start a campaign, given that that is your new philosophy? We know that the Conservative government is telling its non-elected senators to vote against a bill that has just been passed by the House of Commons. Is there a way to run a campaign that would help people understand that this is not the end of the world nor is it the end of the Supreme Court? Out of 33 million people there may be 9 who are qualified people.
I think that what the government is doing is an insult to anglophones. It is as if one were saying that there are no anglophones in Canada who are sufficiently bilingual to sit as judges on the Supreme Court. That is an insult to anglophones.
