A judicial start...
So a parliamentary committee will get to ask questions of new Supreme Court nominees. That is a good start, however Harper doesn't go all the way and allow actual votes for the nominee, instead he keeps that power in the PMO.
As I say, it is a start, but really, what would be wrong in giving a Parliamentary committee the right to vote on a nominee?

Because this way Stephen Harper can pay lip service to the idea of Democracy, without actually practicing it. Kinda like his desire for an Elected Senate, while still appointing Fortier...
