Mr. Speaker, the open court principle is a fundamental principle in our justice system. I am very concerned about media reports on the judicial process in Quebec. I gather that the director of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada issued a press release. As we all know, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada is an independent arm's-length entity. Because of the court orders in this case, I cannot comment further.

Mr. Speaker, I extend my support and condolences to all of those families affected. I can assure the hon. member, this House and all Canadians that the filling of that position is moving in due course according to the rules of fair hiring we have put in place, and I would expect that announcement will be made very soon. We have invested in victims across Canada in a variety of programs. We will continue to do that. Victims remain at the centre of what we do— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
