December 4, 1951 (21st Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. Diefenbaker:

As an addition to the last statement made by the minister, I should like to say that at all times together with a bill of rights I have advocated the extension of the right of the individual to appeal to the courts in order to ensure that governments, however powerful and of whatever persuasion they may be, shall not have the right to take away from the subject the right of appeal to the courts.
