Mr. Speaker, we already knew that the Liberals vetted judicial appointments using a partisan tool called the “Liberalist” to give their friends an advantage, but it is worse than we thought.
On the weekend, journalist Joël-Denis Bellavance stated that even the Prime Minister's Office was directly interfering by pointing the Department of Justice toward loyal Liberals. Also according to Mr. Bellavance, the Minister of Justice asked other ministers, including the Minister of National Revenue and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, to approve new judges. It goes deep.
Is it still possible for non-Liberals to become judges in Canada?
