Minister, bear with me here. Could you keep your answers as short and concise as possible? This is a matter of great importance, and I have lots of questions for you.
That said, you are indeed talking about judges of great intelligence and talent, but why not respect the wishes of Quebec? How is it that you chose someone who was not one of those recommended by the Government of Quebec?
Did you consult the minister, who said that this choice was not one of his recommendations. Did you consult the Government of Quebec before making the appointment? Did you just decide to ignore Quebec's requests?
