Mr. Speaker, I am glad that the member spoke so highly of the citizenship judge to whom he was referring.
I have been to citizenship ceremonies across the country and all the citizenship judges are compassionate and generous. They are very welcoming to new citizens. They understand what they are doing and they are a credit to Canada.
Hon. members across the way are always telling us that we pick people randomly and it is all about getting our friends into positions. We have set new structures for appointing people to these very important positions. Those new criteria and new structures mean we do a search for the kind of people who will fulfill the criteria.
Members cannot have it both ways. They cannot ask for criteria and for an objective process and then say to do it tomorrow.
