I did not use that term.
So, we would tell a person to try to attract favourable public attention, to incur electoral expenditures, to participate in elections, and ultimately, Canada's Prime Minister could say that he prefers some other person who has not been through the electoral test. We are also told that the Prime Minister will keep his discretionary power, that he will always be the one to make recommendations to the governor in council.
Frankly, when the question is put so bluntly, I think that the conclusion is easy to come to.
