Madam Speaker, my colleague opposite just showed that the bill is not required because, as he said himself, there already exists a policy on the ability of judges to function in both official languages.
Aside from that, I am also wondering how he can evaluate the judges' level of bilingualism. What is his definition of the ability to function in both official languages?
Expertise is an important quality we look for in candidates, because we must safeguard the rule of law.
How does my colleague reconcile these two aspects?
