JUST Committee Report

The Bloc Québécois supports the four recommendations proposed by the opposition parties. However, the Bloc Québécois members believe that the best way of ensuring that there is no political interference in the process for selecting and appointing superior court judges is to enact legislation setting out the system for appointing judges so that it will be transparent and clear and cannot be altered without a debate in Parliament and the approval of Parliament. Such legislation should clearly state what the composition and role of the advisory committees will be.
