Mr. Speaker, our party has the utmost respect for the Canadian police force, but it also has great respect for the independence of judges. That is what is at issue.
The Prime Minister's admission caused an outcry across Canada.
All the experts condemn his ideological leaning: former Chief Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé; Stéphane Rivard, president of the Quebec Bar; Parker MacCarthy from the Canadian Bar Association, the Canadian Judicial Council, and so on.
Will the Prime Minister stop imposing his ideological choices? Will he restore the independence of the judicial advisory committees?
