Mr. Speaker, I think it is very important that we come to understand the process by which we nominate judges benefits from the independent advice of those who are experts in assessing the quality of those who are elevated to the bench.
It is extremely important that we maintain the independence of the judiciary if we are going to count on our democracy to serve future generations of Canadians. To characterize those who have been appointed as “enemies of the state” is dangerous.
I would encourage my colleagues on all sides of the House to advocate for an independent judiciary to defend our democracy for years to come.
