Mr. Speaker, I ask the question because the coincidences are very odd.
The Minister of Justice also appointed Charles LeBlond and Jacques Pinet to the bench in 2019, again in New Brunswick. Curiously, they too helped the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs to repay his $31,000 debt. We then have four people from the same province who helped the same minister repay the same debt and are appointed to the bench in the same year.
Does one have to know the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs in order to be appointed to the bench in New Brunswick?
