Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege of being vice-chair of the status of women committee when we studied this bill originally.
During testimony, Prof. Carissima Mathen said:
That's been a somewhat unheralded earthquake in the world of judicial appointments.... The innovations that have been done around judicial appointments...have been quite remarkable.
