Mr. Speaker, the appointment of Mr. John Desotti to the bench by the justice minister stopped the hearing of an unresolved complaint that was registered against him with the Law Society of Upper Canada by the Roberts family of North Bay. This denied the Roberts family rights granted it under Ontario law to a fair and just hearing.
My question is for the justice minister. Why did the justice minister not wait until the law society had reached its final decision before he appointed Mr. Desotti to the bench?
