The nominations by Governor in Council are not under the mandate of the Public Service Commission. I can speak about how appointments are done under the Public Service Employment Act. I'm not as familiar with how the nominations are done for Governor in Council appointments.
I think, as the former president said, the nominations under the Public Service Employment Act are based on the fact that a person must meet the qualifications and must meet merit. There are two parts to merit; there are essential qualifications and asset qualifications. Under essential qualifications, a candidate must meet all of those qualifications.
