I’m highly confident that we will find a highly skilled jurist that will fill the vacancy that Justice Martin leaves.
The government will take the next few weeks to review it before responding with a decision.
It is a difficult pill to swallow, coming from somebody who belongs to the Conservative caucus, having watched their deliberate filibuster for months of the justice committee on the House side.
I believe Canadians could benefit, but given what’s playing out in our communities every single day, we can’t afford a months long delay to have these protections benefit victims.
