Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect judges to have all the information they need to understand the whole context of cases before them, and they respect the principle of judicial independence. They also expect their leaders to work together across party lines in Canadians' best interest. We implemented a transparent, merit-based judicial appointment system that promotes diversity. I am very proud of the results.
