Mr. Speaker, as I listened to Radio-Canada this morning, I was reminded of the good old days in the Quebec National Assembly, with the Bastarache commission. The Bastarache commission revealed that the provincial Liberal government of the day had a system of using Post-It notes to identify friends of the Liberal Party who should become judges.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Liberals will always be Liberals, no matter which parliament they are in.
Can the Minister of Justice assure us now, in the House, that no Liberal Party faithfuls or cronies were consulted at any point in the judicial appointment process?
