Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. That is an excellent question. As I was saying earlier, it is a matter of respect, and it goes both ways: francophones towards anglophones, and anglophones towards francophones. We do not want judges to be appointed solely for their ability to serve francophones. We also want the judges appointed to be able to serve anglophones. As I said, we must be fair.
Fairness implies that if a judge could provide a service in English within a given period of time, then the same should be possible in French within that same period of time.
Thus, it is important to be fair and to ensure that all Canadians have access to justice. That is what we, the Liberals, want to do.
