    "content": " Thank you. I congratulate the Committee for coming up with this Report on the Judiciary Fund Regulations. It is quite absurd that I can count endless court decisions that have gone against matters legislated before this House for lack of public participation or gender parity in certain sectors. It then becomes quite ironical that the Judiciary can move forward to carry out an activity without involving the tenets of public participation. So, I applaud the Report of this Committee because it has delved into matters of the law that have been very costly to members of the public and certain Government agencies. So, being the interpreters of law, they must interpret the law as it ought to be. The flipside would have been that if this matter ended up in court and judges were to sit to make a decision on what they have done, perhaps we would have asked all the judges to recuse themselves and let the public make a decision on this kind of thing.So, it puts them in some state of quandary that may take forever to be resolved."
