I'll just take a quick minute to say that hopefully we can move forward and vote on this motion that we've been debating. I had something that I was really wanting to say earlier, but now I am rethinking a bit of it. We do just need to move forward. We all do recognize that the person who is potentially going to be the commissioner is highly qualified. For the sake of consensus, sometimes there are a lot of games played as well, and we never get somebody in place.
All other commissioners and people appointed by government are highly scrutinized by Parliament, and we've seen that in the past. When bad decisions have been made, they have been brought forward in Parliament and the government of the time has been shamed for making a bad decision for an appointment, one that would be seen as inappropriate or biased or whatnot. I think that will continue to happen going forward. The criteria that have been set in place have been set in place in such a way that the broadest and the greatest number of parties would be able to participate, those that would have some shot at forming government or electing a lot of members.
I think it's in the best interests of our democracy to make sure that we have steady debates going forward. Therefore, I think we should vote on this motion and move forward.
