Madam Speaker, I would like to commend the member for Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier for bringing forth this excellent motion.
It is an issue that Canadians are indeed concerned about. There was a huge public outcry in British Columbia, for example, because judges failed to respond to child pornography with the John Robin Sharpe case and refused to prosecute any child pornography cases. People were outraged because of that.
People have an understanding that it is the role of Parliament to make the laws. It is the role of police to enforce the laws, and it is the role of judges to do the sentencing and to settle disputes where those arise.
I want to commend the member. It is an excellent motion and he will find a lot of support for it. We think there should be a review of the way judges are selected. He was recommending that a committee look at the various options.
I do not know if he will have time to respond, but I wondered if he was also looking at a committee that would review the judges themselves? Was he recommending that the committee would be involved in making recommendations to the House? Finally, was he considering, as one of the options, that members might even consider some of these controversial issues that judges get snarled with if they involve social concerns, and make recommendations to the House so that Parliament would make the decisions and not the judges?
