I'd like to say for the cameras—to repeat Mr. Généreux's words—that I now have a copy of the bulk flyer sent in that riding and I will provide you with a copy, Mr. Commissioner. This is what it says:
“Some Bills in Parliament--What Do You Think?” Then there is “Bill Description and Pierre's Position”.
Pierre refers to Pierre Poilievre, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister.
Mandatory Bilingualism for Supreme Court Judges. The coalition parties--the Bloc Quebecois, Liberals and NDP--unanimously supported a bill to require all Supreme Court judges be bilingual.
And there is an X.
Why did the Conservatives vote against it?
Conservatives unanimously voted against the bill because it would limit the pool of qualified candidates. The Court is already able to conduct its business in both official languages without the change.
Do you agree with that statement? I know your position, but now I want to know if you're okay with the position of a government that keeps saying that it limits the number of people going to the Supreme Court.
