While we may not agree on the matter of Mr. Johnston being the independent special rapporteur, I do understand your concerns over the 2021 debates. I think we can find common ground.
The process to appoint the next commissioner will have to take into account the lessons learned. The person chosen will have to consider the challenges that arose and understand the legitimate concerns expressed by many, whether in the Bloc Québécois or other parties, or our Quebec friends in the National Assembly.
Mr. Johnston assumed that role on a volunteer basis. I can't imagine that the person who agrees to take on the responsibility would not want to examine the lessons learned to make sure what happened doesn't happen again.
