I thank you, Minister. I think we all agree that diversity and showing inclusiveness across the country is very important on the Supreme Court.
A point was brought up earlier by Mr. Bittle, and I would like to ask you again about it. Are you worried about the condition that the candidate be fully bilingual? Do you think that may hurt a potential candidate from Newfoundland and Labrador or possibly Prince Edward Island from being nominated or at least making it through the selection process?
Mr. Bittle did ask whether it could be adjusted to say that it would be a qualification that the candidate—he or she—could take the courses necessary, so that you don't rule out a section of the population.
