Mr. Speaker, I have the utmost respect for the member for Yukon and he knows issues of the north very well.
I would like his comment on the good part of Bill C-17 which was of course contained in the previous bill which died on the order paper in November. That is the increase in moving allowances and other allowances in northern or remote regions for judges and their partners, as defined in the act. Does the member think those were good recommendations from the commission and the previous Liberal government with respect to the administration of justice in recognizing the hardship and costs in our northern and remote regions?
