Madam Speaker, I would like the minister to tell me whether he still does not find it a bit odd that his court justices were asked for their opinion as a last resort. It is a bit like a divorce case. This is about divorce.
It is as if a couple had a difference in separation proceedings and one of the spouses told the other that his or her mother was going to settle the dispute. It is a bit like that.
Does he not think that his justices—appointed by him, paid by him and in his service—are not likely to be biased in the decision they are asked to give, a decision that should, if they have understood their role, suit their minister?
That is what is upsetting the people of Quebec at the moment, and he did not resolve the problem in his speech, earlier. I would like him to be a little more explicit.
