Mr. Speaker, I did that. However, I would just draw one point to your attention. Bill C-42 as it was passed in the House was ruled by the Speaker of the other place to be a matter of public policy. The Speaker said the wording of the bill was specific in a public policy manner to allow Madam Justice Louise Arbour to be the prosecutor, the position she currently holds.
The point is that the public policy ran into a problem in the other place. The government withdrew the public policy and introduced a specific exception to section 55 of the Judges Act for Madam Justice Louise Arbour.
I would also draw attention to the note on the motion that would amend the Judges Act which is before the House. It starts off by saying: "Notwithstanding section 55, Madam Justice Louise Arbour may apply for a leave of absence". That is the point, Mr. Speaker.
