Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to follow up on the question by my colleague from Thebacha to the Minister of Justice in regards to the federal government's attempt to colourize the judiciary that should always remain neutral. I think that's the hallmark of one of our strengths of Canada's democracy that's respected around the world. I also believe that the cohorts of people who believe that the courts should do less law-making and stick to the strict interpretation of the law fails to understand the power of Charter. If it wasn't for the Charter, we would not have gained all the progress we have made in regards to aboriginal rights. If it wasn't for the law-making of the court, that would have never gained anything or any disadvantaged group that needed legal assistance to get their even playing field.

So I'd like to ask the Minister, I'm quite alarmed by the answer he gave in which he said that the latest appointment of the judge by the Conservative government was a good one. So I'd like to know if he is suggesting that all three other Supreme Court judges that we have that were appointed by the previous government are not as good as the latest. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
