There are two parts to the question, and I appreciate the two parts.
In terms of the consultations, as I said, I took very seriously my obligation to consult. Certainly the consultations that I undertook informed to a great degree my recommendation to the Prime Minister. One can appreciate, with the sensitivity around a short list and the need for confidentiality in advance of those consultations, that I sought to gain a signed non-disclosure agreement among the individuals I consulted with, particularly with respect to those who were consulted on the entirety of the short list. I'm very pleased I was able to consult with three members of this committee.
In terms of the opportunity to engage with Mr. Justice Rowe tomorrow at the University of Ottawa, I am very pleased that members of this committee, members of the House, and a whole host of law students will be there to be introduced to Mr. Justice Rowe. Members of this committee and the Senate will be able to ask him questions.
I want to underscore that this is unprecedented. This is historic. It provides an opportunity to invite Canadians into a process wherein they will have the opportunity to get to know the next Supreme Court of Canada justice. I very much look forward to seeing how the discussions unfold, and I'm entirely encouraged that there is a substantive number of questions that this committee and others will be able to ask Mr. Justice Rowe.
