Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to the Right Honourable Kim Campbell and to Minister Lametti for coming in today and advising us of the process that took place.

I will start my questions with the Right Honourable Kim Campbell.

Ms. Campbell, in 2017 when you appeared before the committee, you talked about some of the barriers we faced with respect to appointing or having candidates who were women or minorities or indigenous. You outlined today that out of the 12 candidates, one was a woman and there were no indigenous candidates.

Were any minorities part of the candidates?
