Mr. Speaker, today serious alarm bells are ringing about Liberal partisanship in the Prime Minister's Office. The Liberals are treating judicial appointments like a basket of party favours for well-connected partisan friends. This smacks of the SNC-Lavalin scandal, where the PMO pressured the former attorney general, interfering with her office's criminal prosecution of that Liberal-friendly corporation.
Partisan appointments can open the door for Liberals to lean inappropriately on judges in ways we can only imagine. Have they learned nothing from the SNC, Aga Khan and WE scandals? When will the Prime Minister learn that partisan appointments have no place in our judicial system?
