Mr. Speaker, two weeks ago, the Minister of Justice appointed Bruce McDonald, a well-known Conservative fundraiser and organizer, as a federal judge. Now we learn that for 12 straight years he personally donated over $11,000 to the Reform-Alliance-Conservative Party.
The Minister of Justice has stated that he would never support judicial appointments where “who you know gets you on the bench”.
By making one of his party's top bagmen a federal judge, will the minister now admit that he has badly broken his promise?
