Mr. Speaker, section 98 of the Constitution Act of 1867 states:
The Judges of the Courts of Quebec shall be selected from the Bar of that Province.
In the Nadon case, the Supreme Court was very clear about what that means. It is a question of complying with the Constitution and upholding the rule of law.
The Prime Minister already promised the House that he would uphold both the letter and the spirit of the Supreme Court's decision in the Nadon case.
Why is the Prime Minister not delivering on that promise?
