Mr. Speaker, the member makes an excellent point. I can only underline and underscore the importance of that point.
If we do not have a judiciary that is at arm's length to Parliament it will begin to become political and will be influenced by its political masters. That should not happen.
With regard to the law schools and the influence they are having on the judiciary, that is becoming more and more commonplace. People have made predictions as to the decisions that will be coming down from the supreme court simply by reading the literature that is coming out of the law schools. The judges are reading that literature, the commentary and the political correctness that is often associated with it, rather than looking at the merits of the case.
We need judges who are not political. We need judges who are carrying out the will of the people in this country, who are concerned first and foremost with justice. That is I think the point that the member was making and I agree with him.
