Mr. Speaker, I find the position of the government House leader to be somewhat hypocritical, or at least contradictory.
When it comes to protecting the people against poor decisions of the court, the minister stands with the courts every time. When it comes to the courts threatening members' privileges, he stands on the side of members. I am somewhat surprised that he would take the narrow position of protecting members' interests but not the interests of the populace at large.
And I would like to ask, where is the member for LaSalle--Émard in respect to this issue?
