Our new Supreme Court Justice

Looks like Justice Rothstein handled himself quite well at yesterday's public hearing, the first of its kind in Canada. 

 

I'm not sure that I would be comfortable thinking that judges should be advancing the law with a social agenda in mind...It seems to me that the social agenda is the agenda for Parliament ... The court's job is really to take what you (MPs) say about social issues and try to interpret it as best we can and apply it to the facts".

 

That is very, very nice to hear.
