There are those who would have the judges decide who is to become a judge. That is not our government's position. We have consultation committees that include various groups, such as police officers and victims. Perhaps the leader of the Bloc does not want to hear what those groups have to say, but we think their opinions are important to this process.</p>",

Il existe une proposition voulant que les juges d\u00e9cident entre eux qui deviendra juge. Ce n'est pas la position de notre gouvernement. Nous avons des comit\u00e9s consultatifs qui incluent des groupes comme les policiers et les victimes. Peut-\u00eatre le chef du Bloc ne veut-il pas entendre l'opinion de ces groupes, mais nous pensons que c'est important dans ce processus.</p>"
