A selection committee is formed to examine the people who apply. It conducts interviews and comes up with a short list of qualified candidates. It basically tells the responsible minister that from all the people who applied, these are the ones who are qualified for the position.
The selection committee will often say who they consider to be the most qualified, but the minister makes the final determination as to who he or she wants to recommend to cabinet for appointment. That's where we get the recommendation. We do the due diligence, and then it goes to cabinet.
