This is the first time we've met, but I already like you, because you stay positive and you're always looking for the positive side.
I'd like to ask you one last question that I think is very important. When judges make rulings, they have the power under common law to retain jurisdiction in order to monitor compliance with their orders, so why don't they invoke that power more often?
That's what happened in Nova Scotia in a case pitting francophone parents against the provincial government and the Acadian school board. The case was heard by Justice LeBlanc. I just want to mention that he's from Isle Madame, the same region as me, and he's now Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, the first Acadian to be appointed to that position. When the defendants appeared before him, he ordered them to build schools and chose to retain jurisdiction by making them come back to see him in six months to report on the progress they had made. The province fought the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court, but the highest court in the land confirmed that Justice LeBlanc was entitled to maintain his jurisdiction.
Why don't judges use that power to help us out?
