Of course, the minister's statistics are from 2006. I don't know what they were when this committee was sitting, but we obviously didn't have 2006 numbers.
It's just one of the factors in arriving at a number, but it's not the factor. With respect, if you're hunting for the new president of Canada Post, you don't put the job up for bid and describe its marvellous pension and the corporate jet and ask people to bid for it. If there are 100 qualified people, 25 of whom are really qualified, you don't have a Dutch auction to see what the lowest one is going to work for. You ought not to do that with judges either, in my submission.
