Mr. Sabourin, on the issue of the appointments process again, personally, patronage appointments rub me the wrong way, at every level. I think a Liberal, a Conservative, an NDP may very well deserve a position, and they should be appointed if they do. However, it shouldn't be their ticket to to that position, depending on which government is in power.
Do you think that making the process of appointing judges more independent would help lead to a higher quality of judge, and requiring that they disclose training that they have in areas of interest would be an appropriate way to improve the quality of judges and the public faith in the system?
