Thank you, Chair.
May I be allowed to carry on with some of my questions to the president and her colleagues? Earlier a question was asked by a member opposite about merit-based, non-partisan appointments and whether you had noticed any non-merit-based appointments.
I would not put words in your mouth, Ms. Barrados, but I think you were thoughtfully political in your response when you indicated there was a perception about the question about whether appointments were merit-based or not. I thought I heard you say you reference sources such as what we all hear through the House of Commons and what we hear from the media. Those are two of my most credible sources, I must admit, when I look for truth. It's like truth in advertising, sometimes. That might not surprise you.
