Topics in political institution reform

I think if we include a question about the judiciary it shoud aim to discover how Canadians feel about the law-making rule that the Court plays. We could do a little research and choose a prominent case where the Supreme Court has made a big decision (such as a ruling on Prostitution, gay marriage or another big constitutional issue) and ask how respondents felt about this decision. Were they happy about the outcome? Do they think that the role played by judges in important? Do they think that judges should have the power to make that kind of decision? Do they think judges have too much power over parliament? What about the Notwithstanding Clause?

Obviously a lot of thought would have to be put into how these questions would be posed/worded but I think it would be worthwhile to include something on this topic in addition to whatever we do for electoral and senate reform.
