You’re telling us that this qualification does not have to be written into the act. If we put it into law, it can be a change to the Supreme Court Act. You think there has to be an amendment to the Constitution to ensure that Supreme Court judges are bilingual. You also said that we have to choose between the Supreme Court Act and the Official Languages Act, and because it can be amended later by Parliament, it is not really worth it.
At the same time, our government, our Prime Minister, said that they want judges to be bilingual. So they are demanding it. This could change in 2019 if another government were elected and did not consider this qualification to be important.
