I just want the opportunity to say that this is in no way a witch hunt. I think there are some very serious issues at stake here, with transparency being the key one. This government was elected on a promise to create an appointments commission and never did strike that commission. So I think it's very important for us to learn about the process.
What is the process for the appointment of candidates? It's vital to us to learn what's encompassed there. What qualifications are necessary? Who qualifies and on what basis? I think it's important for us to understand that before we put someone's name forward.
Televised hearings aren't uncommon in the U.S. We're not asking for that. We're asking to better understand this process.
Thank you.
