Mr. Speaker, we have taken significant steps to create a better process for appointing judges. It is one that ensures our judiciary reflects the country it serves. Let us be clear: All judicial appointments are made by merit. There are no partisan considerations in the decision-making process. In fact, when we formed government, we removed the partisanship that was in place under the Harper government and brought in a more independent and a more rigorous process.
