Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister fails to consult this House on the most important judicial and administrative appointments. He signs treaties, even commits Canada to involvement in a war with neither a vote nor a mandate from this House. He does nothing to prevent appointed judges from short circuiting this elected assembly through rewriting the law rather than just interpreting it.
Why does the government not seize this opportunity to show some real confidence in the House and insist that the Prime Minister consult the House prior to any judicial appointment?
