Mr. Speaker, once again the minister broke the silence and the secrecy of the process that he himself has a duty to protect.
The Prime Minister politicized the selection process in order to appoint the judge he felt was most ideologically Conservative. Frustrated when that did not work, he shamefully blamed the Chief Justice. One sad result of this debacle is that Canada, and Quebec in particular, has been without a justice for nine months.
Will Justice Fish be replaced by the end of June? What process will the government follow? Will he be replaced with an eligible candidate this time?
