Well, I think you would have to acknowledge that there was a bit of a difference there, Mr. Casey. We already have a decision from the Supreme Court of Canada, in Bedford. That was certainly not the case with the Nadon appointment. There was very much an open question on the subject of eligibility, so much so that we had Federal Court judges applying, and so much so that a justice committee itself recommended names of those who were deemed eligible. In addition, we had the Supreme Court precedent of judges who had been appointed from the Federal Court, albeit from other provinces.
I would describe it as a distinguishable difference between what we have before us now, with a bill that has been drafted in direct response to a Supreme Court decision....
