Minister, I have one question in four parts.

You chose Justice Rouleau to head the so-called “independent inquiry”. I know the justice through my formal legal circles. I also know he was a senior Liberal PMO staffer before he went to the bench.

Was his Liberal pedigree essential to his selection or merely a bonus? Can you help us understand how you came to choose Justice Rouleau?

How many justices were consulted before you chose Justice Rouleau and how many declined that opportunity?
