Mr. Speaker, both the justice minister and the revenue minister continue to trot out words like competence and merit with respect to the government's latest patronage appointments in the B.C. justice system.
There is no possible justification for turning aside a firm with 20 years experience in narcotics prosecution in favour of inexperienced political friends.
Can the justice minister explain to the House specifically how the new firms in the revenue minister's Victoria riding have more competence and merit than the firm the government terminated?
