Mr. Speaker, the Liberal member for Sackville—Preston—Chezzetcook was reported as saying that the majority of candidates on the Prime Minister's Supreme Court short list are from outside of Atlantic Canada. This confirms that the Liberals are preparing to shut out Atlantic Canada from the court for the first time ever.
Now, if that is not the case, then the minister could simply stand to confirm that the government will in fact appoint an Atlantic Canadian.
Why will she not?
