Mr. Speaker, no government has been more committed to the promotion of women than this government and I am very proud to be a part of this government.
Perhaps the hon. member has not heard but, when it comes to full-time judges, thanks to our government, women now represent approximately 40% of Canada's judiciary. I was just at the installation of a woman to the Supreme Court of Canada, which makes 5 out of the 11 judges at the federal Court of Appeals women, as are 8 of the 12 judges on the Alberta Court of Appeal and 12 out of the 14 on the B.C. Court of Appeal.
The NDP members should not make politics out of the judiciary. Supporting the judiciary is what they should be doing.
