Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Madam Minister, for coming in today to speak to us about this very important process that the government has unveiled.
I just want to bring to light that we have, I think for the first time in the history of Canada, the most diverse government or group of parliamentarians in general. I am currently the only visible minority in the room, and in general I'm the only woman who sits on this Standing Committee of Justice, so I understand how difficult it is to truly reflect diversity.
With respect to the Supreme Court, I understand that this one seat that is to be filled can't really accommodate all the diversity that we are looking for, but I would like to know how we are going to go about ensuring that people are represented through this election process—not just this time, but also going forward.
